What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Clazzer]

Did you do the steering wheel too? The bit at the bottom? I want to do mine but dont know how it comes off

I've got the bottom of my wheel done gloss black, there's just four torx screws at the back of the plastic which are situated in long collars that once the screws are removed need to be pulled away from each other. There's also tiny wedges on the plastic that helps lock it in. Be careful after the screws have been removed as I managed to break three of the four screw collars. Once the screws are out and the bits around the bottom edge are free pull the front plastic section away from the wheel towards you until the collars are free from each other. You'll know what I mean when you remove it.

How did you do the stereo front? Does it all come apart?

Do you think you would be able to do the original stereo front? I don't really want to change it. How did you get the original stereo out and how easy do the other dash panels remove?

Cheers

i suppose you could mask up all the buttons, screen, knob, cd part then spray over the radio but i was looking to change my head unit anyway.
to remove the oem stereo i just cut up a dvd case to make x4 12cm x1.5cm rods and stuck them in the holes on the stereo then pulled.

Ok mate, this weekends job is sorted.

i got a screw driver wrapped the end in wiring tape then prised it out.

Gloss black looks class mate , but is there not loads of sun glare reflection onto the windscreen ? The shiny dash plastic on my last car (subaru) drove me mad.

Oh no. Similar thing happened to me in previous FR ( a week before trade in) bloke in a Renault Master van pulled out as I was overtaking - he didn't see me so decided to overtake another van - big bang lots of expensive sounds and a telegraph pole heading my way...... Fortunately the damage was only superficial and 90% of it buffed off, rest the dealer didn't notice
Hope you get it sorted and the dozy bint coughs up

That's exactly where I got hit aswell Shnazzle, but by a lorry, dented my rear arch and scraped along my rear bumper. 3 months on and still no update from the insurance company.

Decided to up the boost a little on my Revo software this morning before work, now that i have a nice new clutch and a better intercooler than when i last adjusted it

Hardly any CFs logged on the few runs on my way to work. Gotta love winter and the single-figure ambient temperature

I hope I don't have the same. I'm not sure whether to have a go removing some of the scuffs with some g3 or just to leave it. I think a lot will buff out
