There's absolutely loads of (conflicting!) information floating around the interweb regarding the removal of the plastic trim (which houses the hazard switch) atop the centre tunnel...

Long story short - the car's orange, the surround is silver. I have the correct primer/paint/wherewithal, but don't want to damage the unit on removal to paint it, as I would imagine a replacement would probably require remortgaging the house.

Any help/tips/pointers on removing it properly would be most welcomed!

Cheers

Can you pop me an email via my profile? I can then send you the service notes for this.
