Cheers mate, I have thought about it but a little unsure for the moment I might try once I have got all the other look mods out of the way

Nice car you've got there, some nice mods and plans! Just have a quick question regarding your dash. When you were send it off how did yo remove the panels ? Any particular method other than a plan scredriver and pulling it ?

 

[Buzz123]

Yes mate it all comes off pretty easy if you know how. Take the bottom piece of the dash off first then remove your console like your radio or whatever is in the center. There should be two screws underneath where you took your radio out. unsrew them the the top part will come away after taking all the torx screws off you can see and the clock bit is just unsrew the left hand side and pull haha

hope this helps
