Black Interior electronic replacement buttons and dials?

Does anyone know of any replacment buttons, dials, etc. for the 2007 Mini interior? Would prefer black or even significantly darker grey then the stock light silver.

the list of buyers will likely be long. I'll be on it for sure......
someone has a chance to make some quick $$ if they can get those made and have a DIY install.

Me too!!!!!

THIS is as close as I have figured out how too, so far. But I have not called to get a quote. And then, you'd have to take all the buttons and such out and send them in, or buy new ones. And I still haven't figured out how to get the symbols back on them.

If someone figures out how to do it, I'm in!!!!

Just remember you will mask out the all the night lighting on these buttons.

The silver controls are more visible againt the black dash...and for this reason I like them.

Not against someone tryin' something different though. I don't know that there is a source for black pieces and, frankly, there may not be for years. If it were me, I'd look in the UK or Germany first...they seem to have the more innovative stuff first. One could always paint!!
