Hmmm, not easy then. Not too sure if you have seen the dash etc of the new focus's etc but the likes, dials etc look very tasty.

Thanks for the help so far..

If i were to purchase the below, which is from an 08 model, would there be any reason to why i couldnt fit it to my 06 mk2 model. Would i need any additional sensors etc..

I bought blue led clock and air con buttons switchs on eBay. With the heater knobs, I changed them to blue LEDs my self. All you needed was new bulbs and just switch them over.

This was on a Mk1 Focus.
