   I'm ditching all of the plastic trim in my car and replacing the majority with carbon panels.
   
   Howver the window switches are a slight problem as they are going to be just flopping about if I remove the centre console as planned.
   
   So my question is what the hell can I do with them?

   Extend the wire and jobs a good un although I wanted to ditch the door cards so hopefully the switches are in the door bins?

    I've just been trying to get Gavs GTi going, we've tried three looms and not one of them was complete... it was like walking onto the set of Hostel the amount of butchery involved!... I left him to it in the end content that my loom is spot on lol

    there was a kid on ssc what put them in his dash were his stereo was iirc looked smart theres an option if your losing the radio
    
    can you leave a space for them in the carbon
    
    or get perspex windows then theres no need for them

    Perspex windows I like your style but maybe a touch hardcore for a daily drive.
    
    Thinking about it I could ditch the ash tray and plonk them in the hole that remains and maybe plate it up with some carbon or something.
    
    I'll get creative.
