Thinking of going to see a 993 which has silver dial surrounds (also silver backplate on the centre switch panel). Obviously this is an aftermarket mod and I have to say I really don't like them.

Does anyone know how these are normally fixed and can they be removed easily without damage to the original dials etc?

Car is a fair journey away and to be honest if these can't be removed easily I think I will just pass now.

Just glued on usually

Mine had a horrible fake carbon cover on teh centre sitches when I bought it, came off no problem though

I guess it just depends what adhesive was used to put them on in the 1st place

It may be worth asking the owner if he has the origional dtrims and replacing them before you purchase, if its the car you want. That way any damage in removing glued on dials will be his responsability not yours; however I believe most of these push on.
