i no the surrounds around the air vents just pop out using a trim tool, ive changed mine to chrome. but i was trying to figure out the ones around the speedo.
yes well thanks for that advice on the air vent trim the stereo trim just pops out as well which makes
me think the speedo ones should and if you pull the circles round the revs and the speed they move
slightly however the peak that over hangs the speedo doesnt seem to move may contact local SEAT
dealer :S

IIRC, someone asked this a while back and the conclusion was that it's plastic welded onto the main bit of the dashboard and to remove it would mean removing it permanantly.
Anyone else remember something similar or am i inventing threads?

I have taken the dial surrounds off.
Start at the bottom near the steering column - pull till the clips release and work you way around each side to the top.
The peak is plastic welded to the dash and can not be removed.

I don't think you can take it off. You would have to tape off the area and paint it that way

Yep it's true. I broke my dash peak getting it off and it's a major headache to repair (groan). Leave it alone. the clock one does just pull off though, just like the guy said in the previous thread.
Now it's finally fixed, I'll go the vinyl wrap route......what a dumbass!
That is after the springs are fitted, following the Porsche alloys, or is it Audi ones? Arghhh!

Yeahh i dont fancy breaking it off haha what do you think it would look like spraying the dial surrounds black and the air vent surrounds all black shame about the peak! Yours sounds nice mate mines stock at the moment only just picked it up got plans though refurbing alloys black on red car drop it slightly stealth exhaust and induction kit and the standard change of bulbs and leds not sure about the dials though black or not? :S

i'm going for a mix and match (parts ordered/ car due in a week or so) - black console, handbrake cover, stereo surround, heater surrounds - aliminium clock surrounds, door handles, steering wheel bits
hope it look ok, has anyone else got the piano black dash kit?

Havent got the piano black kit but spraying my bits black tomorrow ill post when theyre done and upload some photos when its dry should look nice hopefully

the only pic i've seen of the black dash kit looks as though it has 2 white lines down the middle of the stereo surround - not sure what that's supposed to match?

didn't realise you were doing the peak as well - mask well
are you using proper plastic primer so the paint wont flake off?
