Hi all.
Got a fair few worn dash buttons on my car...
Aswell as the scratched facia.
What would be the best way of repairing/ covering them up?.
A new unit is a crazy price + they dont very often show up on ebay (when they do they are usually in a similar state)
Any advice appreciated.
Callum

Oh, its also a slightly rubberised finish..,. so spraying satin black isn't an option (as suggested on my local forum)

Scrappy? Granted that might be hit and miss.
Although I can't quite see the damage as the second pic isn't big enough.

Facelift s3 ones (with heated seats) very very rarely ever come up second hand
The buttons arnt a biggie, as a3/a2/a4 ones will fit.. more the facia scratches i want repaired.
The 2nd pic should be the same size as the top dave (unless it was sarcasm - then it went straight past me) 800x600 via photobucket

Take out and replace with a nice new shiny unit from Halfords. I've found standard stereos to be shite. The one in my pug overheats, the one in ford connect also overheats. Plus, it's a cheaper option and you can replace with the original stereo when selling the car. Or, sell on old unit to pay for newun 
Edit, i'm a retard. Just looked at the functions
