...the blue that previously existed would have fitted my VW perfectly.. Is it available upon special request...

I'll bet you could find a blue MkI faceplate somewhere... all you'd have to do is drill a 12mm hole in the appropriate place for the rotary knob shaft, and you'd be in business.

Or am I overlooking something here?
