Is anyone able to tell me what this interior is out of

I am not interested in the seats etc, what I have particular interest in is the cherry grain window switches, I have all the rest and just want these

Thinking may be a Diamate option perhaps but not sure

Just to clarify, this pic is from a TL ES so not std

Looks like a Custom job, as the Veradas had the window switches in the drivers door, and they all came with the 6 stacker CD player. The stereo there looks like the single stacker from the base models, also the transmission looks like a 4 speed as all the 5 speed autos had a "chrome" surround. Did they export the TL/W models?

I know for a fact that this car is an ES, ie 4sp auto, normally grey plastics etc etc, it did not have grain plastics from the factory

The switch panel can not be custom as i am not aware how one would even get close to getting that sort of colour and grain match to be honest

Nope not that either, agian the match is too close and the colour is moulded too well into the switch indents

do you have pics from any other angles? would be interesting to see if the CC holes in the dash are covered or exposed on the drivers side

Have you got a closeup pic of the switches?
I'm thinking its from a Verada and the switch board was painted a similar colour

the buttons for the a/c look to be sunk into the dash, rather than stepped out (which would mean something is stuck over the top of the stock plastic trim). This whole car screams ebay special

Sunk into dash seems right.

I have a cherry grain panel from the Rada I am wrecking, is IDENTICAL to those in the pics, clearly is NOT a stuck on bit PLUS the switches, you can not get the contour in where the switch panel dips for the switch so agian is not stick on

Am thinking more and more is a Diamante thing

If it was a diamanté wood grain wouldn't hazzard switch be on the left instead of the right?

My woodgrain looks very different

I think it's a custom job. The L/W wood grain looked nothing like that (as picture by pete) however it looks VERY similar to the custom wood grain job done on my old ladies Peugot 206!

I'm leaning towards that. It could've been an NZ Diamante option? But it does look fairly consistent with the custom woodgrain work I've seen done by a few of the specialists I've looked into in the past.

I think it is custom wood grain. Although this is fitted to some of the late JDM Diamante's.

Nope, NZ diamantes had the puke coloured woodgrain. I had a KL equiv diamante centre console that I sold on.
