does anyone know if the chrome hoops (i think part no 18 on the diagram) can be individually removed and fitted to my existing basic dash? (looks like part no 2). i like em but probably not so much that i want to replace the whole console..
cheers,

The chrome hoops can be removed individually, there is three or four clips that hold them in place. I am unsure if they fit the stock console panel. Do you have the rings already?
No part 18 is listed on that diagram when I put my car details in, however when I put in a late S54 ///M roadster I get a second diagram with a different chrome ring on it. I suspect that the one on the diagram above is for facelift consoles and the one on the ///M diagram is for pre-facelift. I am not certain, but I think the ///M console heater controls are identical to the pre-facelift non-///M ones, so in theory those rings should fit. They look like they might be quite expensive though!

All you need to do is measure the diameter of the holes...they vary very slightly...then go onto eBay and buy a set, or I think you can get them from "Just Roadster"..they have the different sizes...they're good quality, and you can use a drop or two of Araldite to fix them into position. A 5 minute job...
