While shopping around on the internet for my wish list of new suspension parts, I found a rather small, but very needed item at Welsh Enterprises. Since i've owned my car and detail it almost every weekend in the spring and summer, I've noticed that my boot release button was an ugly black button. Thinking that was normal, I have averted my eyes as much as possible...until I found this! only $15
To install, simply use a small screwdriver to wiggle the entire button from its hole (careful with that chrome) use a little goo-gone to soak on the old button cover, and slide a razor blade edge under it to begin working the old button off. Install is the reverse. make note of how the button goes in, at first I had the tabs going the wrong way, so consider just allowing the new buttons sticky side to rest on its new home, then put the button in the chrome strip, then press it down firmly.
Tell your significant others so it can arrive before Christmas.

h2o, you couldn't have bulk ordered and then sent them to us all for less than the $25 they want to send one to me? This matches my bonnet badge and wheel centers. Now I want it. And the button assembly wiggles out without having to access it from the inside, you say? That's nice.
Enjoy your Christmas present.

I am wondering, as they look a different type to the original if you can color code them to your car as you can with the wheel centres

I would buy a couple just to have a go

I would be more than happy to pay you via PayPal Matt up front if you would be so kind?

Sure guys, in order that everyone doesn't have to spend $12 for shipping that should cost $0.44 (US), I can order a handfill, get the ones out to you XKracer, and then mail the others to US peeps. Just need to know who wants one. Mohrd already got his squared away, IIRC.
deadboy, you got a black? you look at it under sunlight, it is a dark green if you don't give it a really close inspection.
Mine is green (obviously) but it may be simply a clear growler cap atop a colored base, in which case, XKracer can easily figure out how to make them appear red.
