basically i've searched on here, in the maintanance and info section, on vw vortex and even google and still I cant find a guide of how to remove this part.
now im either an idiot or there isn't one (im going for idiot)
using my highly advanced paint skills I have painted the parts I wish to remove :nerd:

If the trim has always been black then it's part of the cage and cannot be removed individually :wink:
-
darn :sad: wanted to spray it in silver like a couple people have done on here before. looks real smart
-
mine were black but they un cliped by pushing them down and as for the cup holder a clip each side i used a flad blade to un clip :tongue:
-
some you can unclip, others cant,
if you cant you have to start at the back, take out the ashtrays and drink holder, undo the screws remove the sections around gear stick and hand break then remove glove box then you can take the radio surround out. (stupid i know, another thing the monkeys at vw decided to make stupidly complicated!)
-
jeeezzee thats a lot to do!! anybody done this or got a good guide I can follow this weekend?
-
i did it, pretty simple tbh. just a blag.

Yeah that looks good mate, just DIY my door handles to R32 brushed ali though so think I want the radio surround to match :smiley: anyone know of anyone that has used the brushed aluminium wrap? Is it any good?
-
I've got carbon fibre wrap on mine, looks good and easy to do, will just be the same as ali wrap but in carbon fibre, so yea, easy to use, just need a sharp stanley knife ;)

I'd post some pics of mine but haven't got any decent one's i used 3M di noc vinyl it's textured and looks real
It's even fooled some people asking where i got the r32 trims from, i just made sure all the grain went left to right on all the pieces same as r32/anni trim

Hmm know I'm stuck as to use this roll or the pre made trim :huh:
Not sure at all. The pre made trim is obviously less effort
-
Tbh there both the same price and for the money you can't go wrong really
I removed all my trim to wrap it but you could do most of it in situ I think
it's pretty easy stuff to work with just need to use a hair drier to heat it up a bit
-
took me an hour or so.. 3m wrap cose £12 off ebay

That looks really good!! Gonna go for the pre fit because I can't slide my side parts out :undecided:

few bubbles im not happy with but couldn't vinyl wrap until I get the whole radio cage out which I don't have time for at the mo. This will have to suffice till then :drool:
