I could never pull off badass, so I went with poor-man's Aston look instead

An earlier poster had shown a pix of chrome air conditioning vents. I finally got around to ordering a set and putting them on.
Note: the enclosed double-faced tape may not hold on your dashboard if it has been treated with armorall, etc. if so, contact the seller like i did, and he will send you more additional double-faced tape. No problem as he is very cooperative.

so..I have included some of the ideas I have bought as a result of this thread...it's a great thread!!!

I purchased a set of these as well.... from China. Anyway, the first set I received were brushed steel for the vents in the doors. I got my money back and reordered. I then received the dash vent surrounds in brushed. I also got my money back for those. I never did re-reorder. And ended up using the brushed dash vents. They look good in brushed as well..... I am not at home and can’t get a pic right now.

Where did you get yours and could you post a link if that’s possible, please

Thanx Bud

It really is nice. I wonder if stacking a second horse would have given you a more finished look (so the gap would be less noticeable)? Still very good!!

Quick update: I liked your idea so much, I bought it! In other words, I ordered two aluminium ponies (black and chrome), screwed the black behind the silver, and then bolted them to the grill centre (usefully, they came with screw holes in the right places. now it looks much more professional, IMO at least. The gap is there, but it looks smooth and part of the design. So, thanks for the tip!

Hey nicer yet! Thanks for that!

I have been trying to purchase Dash vent chrome surrounds. I have ordered 3 times and each time it has been the wrong part. I did get my money back each time.... so all good

Anyway, I did get a set of brushed vent surrounds and decided to try them out. Some or the interior bling pieces are brushed anyways, so what the hell... giver a go!!!

I think I like them. Jury still out, but not too bad....

Just yesterday afternoon I received mine from the same seller...and they are chrome . If I have time this morning I will place them.

 

[pacomicro]

Done. They were very good, especially on the right side which was all black.
The pieces are metal, not plastic as others, and are bright chrome, I like how they look.

Yes.... the quality of the ones I received were very good (metal). I just wanted chrome. Maybe I will try again.

thanks guys - just ordered ... (different seller for UK) -

The lottery of when they will arrive (eventually) and will they be Chrome or brushed / plastic or metal --- is actually quite exciting!

(I live a quiet life ....)
