Hopefully someone can advise, but I'd imagine in additional to the physical fascia you'd need some coding done as well to get it all working properly, assuming it's possible.

Good luck

MrM thanks for the reply. Except coding I wonder if all the climate controls internals are the same.

Thanks for the link, although most of the times dealers are aware of the modifications. So, I wouldn't be amazed if this or anything else could be done with the help of re-coding maybe.
I'm waiting for an answer if anyone have done this retrofit.

I've seen loads of people ask this on here....the general answer seems to be don't bother.

Yes it's possible, anything is possible to retrofit with the right amount of money, time and skill. However some things just aren't worth it.

I believe you could fit that new fascia and code it to work, however it would only work like the basic one you have now and just look nicer, the climate control and dual zone etc wouldn't work unless you also retrofitted the sensors that are around the car, I think there's a few of them.

In my opinion there's not much point in fitting the new fascia just for 'looks' and to function like your existing one. And to fit the new fascia and sensors and code it to work properly with the dual zone climate control would take far too much time and money for what it's worth.

If it's something you really really want, then spec it in the first place.
