Looks good.  :cool: The passenger side footwell loom is ridiculously short.  I remember swearing a lot when I did mine.

Thanks Rebecca it was your blue footwell that put me on the idea lol  :whistle: :whistle: but yeah it is unplugging was easy gettin it back in was a pain till I took off the kick plate moved the loom it splices off from until it was in place then just put everything back lol  :smiley:

I just about managed it without removing the kickplate, but if I did it again I would just undo it as you did.  I did mine solo and had to assume some sort of contortionist position half in and half out of the car to do it.

Placed my credit card on the centre console sliding lid, only to realise the car park I was in was coins only, opened the slider to get some coins from the cubby, (where the cup holders are) credit card disappeared into the armrest section!  :grin:

How easily does the centre console come out?  :whistle:

I've had a similar incident though luckily for me it was only a 20p piece. Not going to strip the interior down for that! If I was you I'd be tempted to cancel the card and get a new one issued as chances are things won't go back quite as they should and/or damage will be done.

Yea I was thinking it might just be easier to cancel the card/state as lost.

Did the exact same thing a few weeks ago.  http://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/16879-remove-the-centre-console-lid/?p=280851

Useful info on removing the centre console in that thread.
