Can the original release switch be fitted to the new panel.

| tanloverluke Member Since: 19 Mar 2013 Location: Honiton Posts: 917      | I tried to place the lettering as low as possible, in other words as close as possible to the slight bend in the trim. Like you I'm not 100% satisfied, but looks better than the old look in my eyes. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

| Kensta Member Since: 17 Feb 2011 Location: North east Posts: 702      | I'm a bit concerned now I think I might of placed the letters too low on the top panel I pretty much placed them about 4 mil above the silver strip maybe that's why it looks weird il try get a pic.
