You need to remove the radio, storage tray, cup holder, card holder and the heater control surround. Push the switches out from the inside and unplug them. There are 10 torx screws that need removing, 8 are easily visible and the other 2 are under the centre console. If you have climatronic, then you need to remove the screws from underneath before removing the climatronic panel as otherwise you can't remove it. If you have climatic, you don't need to remove the controls themselves, just the surround. The centre console can then be lifted off.

You must specify what colour you want otherwise he will just send you black!

Thank you because that took a lot of time a effort!

Cheers guys will get it back in tonight! Also be careful if you do this with the drinks holder as it comes out easy but that because It just broke into a million pieces that I am now trying to put back together! Might just go buy a new one because it was already really sticky from the previous owner!!!
