I had a crazy idea to fit a Mk7 climatronic panel into my R32. I had to cut and paste the later surround into the earlier surround. Anyway, this is the result so far.

Bang on, looks good got a mk6 climate control need to fit into my mk5 r32, you got a part number for the mk7 climate control pal would be nice thanks! Also where you get the r32 switch nice!
I used the surround supplied to fit it to a mk6 and trimmed it down to the stepup roughing it down with a bench grinder then using a dremel with a sanding barrel until it looked nice. The surround from the mk6 in a mk5 has a smaller hole than the mk5 standard surround. I marked out where I needed to trim and started with drilling small holes to remove the majority of excess material. Then I used the dremel to get it right. To hold the two together, I used some waste plastic and melted some bridges to join the two together. Good thing is that I didn't need to paint it doing it this way and the join is on an edge.
I like this a lot ....only thing that concerns me is if I can cut out or around the panel to get a fit like yours ...it's so OEM looking it's unreal
Well done excellent job ......I can see myself ordering one shortly and giving it a go :-/ lol
