I will post pics on how I get on

Any idea the order the trim comes off, Im thinking main radio surround, then climate control and air vents.

I have a white BlueGT aswell and have had that idea many times too.

Just haven't done anything about it yet...

Yes, I reckon you would need two people to do it properly and then there's the question of it possibly trapping water on a horizontal surface and damaging the paint like vinyl roofs used to in the 1970s... I will have a think about it once my car has been delivered.

Anyone know the actual part numbers for the trim for the radio, air vents and surrounds?

Looks great. Is that anthracite brushed aluminium? Did you have any trouble getting the trim out of the dash?

That stuff, the trim was OK to remove, pig to get the air vents back on though!

Looks really good.

But in your haste to put the car back together you accidently put the steering wheel on the wrong side...

Looks even better now with the aluminium exposed.

Top job.
