A sheet form member or appliqu 10,70 comprises an integrally formed raised feature protruding from a surface 16 and having a height 14 of at least 4 mm. A plurality of such preferably ring-like features 20,22 may act as rims 12 in a dashboard panel or fascia through which a vehicle's instruments may be viewed, or the member 10,70 may be part of a decorative panel. The member 10,70 is preferably moulded or cold formed and an ink coating 72 is applied to give a black and chrome appearance similar to that of a fascia having metallic non-integral instrument rings. An ink coating 72 of a high temperature resin based ink may be applied to a front (74 see fig 9) or reverse side 76 of the member 10,70. The ink maybe formed from pigment particles of 5-55 microns average size. Alternatively, an acrylic cellulose acetate butyrate resin base may be used. The member may be fixed to a rigid backing.
