Title: Carbon Wrapped Inserts!
Post by: AjayB on December 23, 2011, 12:58:39 pm

Does anyone have any guides or tips on how to remove the inserts on the 4 doors and the 3 inserts on the dashboard? Also how to remove the trim around the the cigarette tray area as i am about to wrap these in some carbon vinyl! Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

Ajay

From memory you need to remove the gear stick gaiter and you will then see the two torx screws holding the ashtray in  :happy2:

(you don't need to remove the gaiter or gear knob from the stick)

Use a hair dryer to warm the wrap up.. makes it so much easier to wrap around edges/corners  :happy2:
