Off to the wreckers today looking for inspiration and found just what I was looking for to sort the problem. I'd like to say a special thankyou to the 3 Barinas that donated these to a worthless cause.
It took 2 hours of cutting and shaping (hacking at) both the Astra and Barina knobs and bonding them together, but they work a treat.
Now another 3 hours or so and the other 2 will be done as well.
They'll look great with the Heater trim rings and Piano Black console

I showed the guy at the counter my new shiny things and a new air filter I managed to find, and he said "Don't worry about it. You'll buy something more substantial next time huh?"
"You bet."
Thats about as much of a bargin as any.
I also found a CDX Instrument Cluster with the Chrome Rings, but seeing as they're welded to the faceplate I could see no way of carbon skinning it first. I'll grab some decent ones when I do the Carbon
