hi, the main piece is held in place with 3 x Torx screws, the T-shape piece is attached to the dash with plastic welds. You have to basically snap the plastic welds off. I used a long flathead screwdriver to gently prise it off. Once off it can be clipped back in place as it has three clips that clip to the dash. Hope that helps.

Hi mate, im spraying my vents at the moment and just wondered how you got the drivers vent off without damaging anything? because i got my spares from a scrappy and ended up just ripping them out to get what i wanted

Push the headlight/light light switch inwards, it will push in about 5mm, then turn slightly to the right and pull. The whole swtich will come out. Disconnect it, there is a torx screw inside, undo this and remove. Simples :)

Spent today getting the car ready for UD's pretty happy with how it has all gone. Just a few little things to do on Friday. Got another couple of coats of limeprime on, followed by 2 coats of Chemical Guys Glaze and 2 coats of Auto Glym high def wax.

After the limeprime (no wax or glaze)
