Don't forget it's LHD. Won't be the right mirror for yours, Steve.
Thanks Shop, that's right the mirror would be no good for an RHD.

Dash Parking Switch (by the cup holder) if unworn.
.....and the trim that goes around it if scratch-free.
rear number plate surround if it's scratch-free.
OK for the parking switch
For the number plate holder assembly, that one tall order you have for an 18 yo car :) Check the pics out, there are some very minor scratches - so minor I had to set special lighting to be able to catch them on camera.

The trim around the parking switch I'm keeping for myself. I have a standard plastic coloured one that comes with the aluminium trim if that interests you.

What's the situation with VAT and customs charges when importing from Switzerland?

Good question. My understanding is that since it's a small ocassional cash transaction the parcel can be marked as a present. At least that's how many do it around here. Do you know more about it Shop?

I'm guessing that since it's outside the EU but in the EFTA then there might not be customs but likely will be VAT. I guess you could call it a present to avoid the VAT but you'd have to declare a low value.
You pay VAT on goods sent from non-European Union (EU) countries and EU special territories (eg the Canary Islands) if they’re:

gifts worth more than £39
other goods worth more than £15
alcohol, tobacco products and fragrances (eg perfume, eau de toilette and cologne) of any value

You have to pay VAT on all goods sent by mail order from the Channel Islands no matter what their value.

You’ll be charged at the VAT rate that applies to your goods. VAT is charged on the total value, including:

the price paid for the goods
postage, packaging and insurance
any duty you owe

Customs Duty

You’ll be charged Customs Duty on gifts and other goods sent from outside the EU if they’re above a certain value.

The value includes:

the price paid for the goods
postage, packaging and insurance

Type and value of goods Customs Duty

Anything under £135 No charge
Gifts worth £135-£630 2.5%, but rates are lower for some goods - call the helpline
Gifts above £630 and other goods above £135 The rate depends on the type of goods and where they came from - call the helpline
https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty
To qualify as gifts, goods must be:

described as gifts on the customs declaration
for a birthday, anniversary or other occasion
bought and sent between individuals (not companies)
intended for personal use
