Looking good!
Is it easy to remove the top centre dash console?
Got the remains of a mobile phone cradle attached behind mine and was wondering if the trim just clips into place?
Cheers

Re: neilGTI's WIP (Work in Progress) Thread
Thanks for the comments guys 
The top dash is easy to come out (the bit that holds the stereo), the piece up by the windscreen is very difficult and needs glueing in after taking out.
To get the the first piece off (with the stereo in it), remove the stereo and you will find i think 3 or 4 screws, undo them and then pull on the console and it will come out.
The top piece up by the windscreen is plastic melted to the dashboard and requires levering up and snapping the welds to get off, then the plastic welds need to be cut off in order to get it to sit flat on the dash in order to glue it back on.

Gloss Black does look quality but I pressume it must be a right pain in the summer.
Where did you get the Carbon wrap from Neil?
