Title: trim removal tools
Post by: roamer1711 on November 13, 2010, 05:41:25 pm

Ok I am about to/ maybe get a RNS510 and being a bloke I need to buy some toys, sorry tools to remove the dashboard. I have the rubber mat tray above not the diffuser. So anyone know of some decent plastic tools that will not scar up the plastic. I know some will say use a narrow blade but i like to do things with the minimum damage its a new car and she wil kill me if  i scratch it are these any good ?

I got a set like in the first link from the bay but they are green.  Very good but I paid less than a tenner for them ...

Mine look like them but they were only a 5-piece set I think. Worked well but TBH they aren't absolutely necessary.

My garage is full of used once tools but you never know when you might need them( impact wrench for the win )  where did you guys get them from. I am in Southern Ireland and we only have v expensive factors I have found so far

...stealth do you ever sleep...

I have insomnia at times. This week's been pretty bad but thankfully I've been off work.

EDIT: I found the ones I bought clicky (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160505551621&) - though I don't recall them being as expensive in terms of P&P.
