speedo/sterio surroud removal

[grant2005ibiza]

Hi all, how do I remove this item? The big grey part. Thanks this is my 1st post

 

[rf860]

it's not possible to remove as it's plastic welded to the main dash.

Thanks for a fast, no garbage answer. You've saved me a lot of messing about.

is it the stereo surround or the speedo surround? the speedo one is not removable but the stereo surround is

Hi lawrie, its the big section that runs from around the heater control, up both side of the stereo, around the air vents and then around the dials. Where there is 4 screws. Two horizontally either side, infront of steering wheel. Two that screw upwards into the top. Infront of the dials.

aww ok, yeah that's part of the dash. you just wanting to change the colour? i suppose you could vinyl wrap it if you were careful

Is that a diy job? Or more of a specialist job? Thanks for you replys

 

[rf860]

Well i have been vinyl wrapping diy style today a few bits on my car and it's certainly not easy, requires a lot of patience. I hate to imagine how diffcult the plastic shroud on the dash would be.

yeah for an area that size you should be thinking about going for a pro wrapper.

you doing some carbon wrapping rf?

 

[lgsnoddy]

ive painted mine and, just today carbon wrapped it for a change, ill post pics of both wen ive just uploaded them

 

[lgsnoddy]

right here it is wen i painted it the same colour as the car (i had painted it anthracite before)

and here it is after todays vinyl wrap

sorry bart the quality, took em on mi fone

 

[rf860]

@ igsnoddy, we're talking about the large plastic shroud that goes round the dials, not the climate and headunit fascia

 

[lgsnoddy]

oh right sorry my mistake, thought ya meant the radio surround

 

[grant2005ibiza]

Would it be a stupid idea to spend a lot of preparation time covering everything up. And spray it with doors open?
