Removing interior dash trim/center consul panels

Eau_Rouge111 · 05-02-2018, 10:20 AM

Hi everyone. So my M Coupe has the silver dash panels which for me reflect too much light into my eyes...so I picked up a spare set of interior dash panels and the center consul panel and had them leather wrapped. Anyone know or have any tips as to how to remove the ones on the car so I can replace with the leather wrapped ones? Any tips would be appreciated as I don't want to damage the car/original panels.

Thanks.

Disconnect battery.

The dash is straight forward as I remember.
Remove centre air vent
Remove audio HU
Remove screws behind radio HU
Pull on plate.
You will want to have the clips that hold the panel in place on hand as they invariably drop into the black hole inside the dash.

The console is a beech.
