So as its raining today, i decided to have a look at what i can do to keep me occupied over the winter. I've taken off my drivers side lower door card as i planned to paint them gloss black to match the other parts of the interior, but i noticed its all held together with plastic welds? anyone got any advice on how to separate it because i really dont fancy trying to paint it with the speaker grille and pocket net attached!  

Could just use a soldering iron and heat up the plastic welds so they melt again and pull everything apart , then when you're ready to put it all back together again just do it again, just heat up the plastic along the edges where things meet with a soldering iron and make you're own welds shouldn't need any plastic weld rods just spread the plastic across the gap as it melts to join it , do it in a well ventilated place if you can though because it will bloody stink ??

Hi all, just bought a little lupo as a project but the instrument cluster has a crack in the glass / plastic, (whatever it is) and it is getting on my nerves seeing it all the time, does anyone know if it is possible to swap the glass around from a second hand cluster to my one or if it is worth just getting a new complete unit and if so will all the mileage data change or will it update with my cars mileage as soon as I plug it in? Any help appreciated ?
