I have mostly 'C2'd' my interior with only the clocks (possibly sorted), centre console and seats to find. I noticed when looking at the dash today though, that the adjusters for the headlamp beam level and dash illumination do not have the same silver surround as the HVAC and headlamp switch. I've been unable to find a picture of a 'true' C2 interior which clearly shows these adjusters to know whether they should be silver or not.

Does anyone have, or can anyone please provide, such a picture?
 
So it would seem - the pic on Andy's link confirms it. Only problem with a sticker is that I suspect it would be a struggle to accurately recreate the graphics as they are so small. Plus they wouldn't illuminate unless one could employ a surgeon and a microscope to cut them out.

I actually don't mind leaving them black if that is how they were from the factory, I do find it strange though that someone in Ford's design department didn't spot the incongruousness when they commissioned the facelift.
 
I replaced my interior with c2 earlier this year. I have the complete dash in the cave waiting to go in but tbh, it's such a BA that i'm in two minds weather it's worth the hassle, not only that, i'm not really keen on the binnacle cover. Te texture of it makes me think it could be a pain to keep clean?
 
Not a problem in mine AL

I'm guessing the two switch panels were not silver from the factory as they are the two switches that you will use the least (am I right) or as Rich said some one was cutting costs ;) (hence why there is no bulb in the one either)

Not at all Al. I just spray it with the same stuff that i use on the rest of it mate. It just doesn't shine like the rest of the dash which is good imo as it doesn't reflect on the windscreen as much on sunny day's (y) (when we get them)
 
I can say I've noticed any drama with keeping the binnacle clean, to be honest. Being less smooth and shiny, dust doesn't seem to attract to it (or at least show) as much.
