Hi Ed:
Thanks for the info. There doesn't seem to be much doubt that the gear lever
surround should be body colour on AN5, HAN6, and GAN1, all of which make
sense given the exposed metal on the inside of the doors. For HAN8, GAN3
(roll up windows), the gear lever surround is definitely interior colour.
Only on the HAN7, GAN2 does it appear to be in question.
