i have looked but i cannot find where there is details on how to remove the garnishes on the centre console and the LHS black strip which leads into the air con vents. Im removing them to paint them, and also how do i get to the part around the dials to paint, any help would be great, or if you know where there is a thread about this can you tell me where to find it.

pull our glove box out and reach up into the dash at the back of the black stip and you will find two or three butterfly nuts and just undo them :D

for the centre console, theres 2 screws (one on each side) behind the front seats, on the bottom of the console

then theres 2 screws inside your ashtray, once u lift that part of the centre console, youll see 2 more screws etc..

easy as pie :D

dood give jellico a PM, he will sort every trouble out with your car, im not kidding :P

thanks guys, yeah tuff TR (paul ur name is isnt it?) i might just give jellico a PM and thanks for all the other help!
