Default Walnut door trim repair

Hi,

Does any one have a recommendation to recolour the worn walnut trim inset on the drivers and passenger side doors (where the buttons for the electric mirrors sit)? There are several colour fixes on craft websites but any advice would be gratefully received.

As said above, it must be the stick on trim from the link provided as there was no walnut as standard.

Just order a replacement, peel the old part off of the switch, clean all the sticky glue remnants off that will remain, warm up the switch/switchpack with a hairdryer & stick the new piece on.

There was but it was only on certain export cars and finding some is nigh on impossible.
