One side came off fine without breaking any clips atall, the other broke one of the clips so im kind of hoping it will still go back on ok? fingers crossed  :drool: I decided to make the center console trim black instead of silver? all the parts look good, will let them dry for a day or two, then put it back together  :smiley:

I did them silver, just the picture makes them look white, camera phone you see  :sad:

I didnt take the cup holders out mate??? just the front flap comes off, if you lift it up you will see two pins that push out, then the flap comes off, and as for the two side strips, they kind of push upwards? if that makes sense, just be as careful as you can
