Hello, everybody.
Since interior parts are becoming more and more scarce, I have been taking some time to draw out some of the more rare parts I come upon. In this instance, it is the coveted AC faceplate. I drew it using AutoCAD, a ruler, and the part. The part is drawn such that one unit is 1mm. I did not cut out the hole for the radio, since my AC faceplate already has a DIN slot hacked out. Note that this faceplate was from a Bavaria, but as far as I can tell, it is identical to the coupe AC faceplate.
With this drawing, you should be able to take it to a shop and have them make one for you for a reasonable cost. The drawing itself is in the form of a .dxf file, a pretty much universal drafting standard. You should be able to use a DXF viewer to get any dimensions required off the drawing, or if that is not working, I can add dimensions and make a proper drafting layout with dimensions.
Here is the file:

The next part I am considering doing are the plastic panels that go on the center console sides that let air into the blower motor when the coupe has AC. (you know, the ones that always break)
