Hi guys
Me again eh? 
OK I'll be getting my hands on a few things come end of this month and one is a climate control panel from a 1999 Elite.
Mine is a PFL 1994 and has black and non-digital dials that are, well, they could look a bit better.
So question is can I swap the Elite panel for mine?
I've looked on here for a guide but can't find one. Is there one?
Cheers
Ant

I would say not possible without fitting the heater box along with all the vacuum and electrical servos, not to mention the wiring and vacuum lines, from the Elite

Might be easier if the '99 car is a facelift one as the dash is different, so you would need to remove that as well...

Just to clarify, this is the "wooden " trim including ash tray around the dials not the dials themselves. The trim is off a mini facelift elite.

I can't remember what a non elite PFL car's dials look like.

OK Varche ...I thought it was the whole set up. If it's the trim only then I'm sure there will be a way to sort it.

Whilst nothing is impossible, retrofitting Climate comes pretty close.

The wood surround is different between climate and manual heating, so that's a No as well

Agree with TB, however, as PFL parts are getting a little unwanted these days, you may be able to source very cheaply a panel identical to your own and a wood trim climate panel. You can then hack them, dremel them, glue, do whatever you like. If you find a result, or mod, then happy days, if not, you haven't hacked to pieces your own dashboard. It's then just a case of spending an hour swapping the panels over. Much more preferable to removing your existing panel, then pondering how to add the wood.
