Anyone who knows my car will know that the wooden panels - dash, glove box and centre console have been painted.
I've been contemplating removing them and either "carbon fibreing" them or re-veneering. Either professionally or myself.
I think someone on here has done a re-veneer successfully??
What is puzzling me at the minute it how the main dash trim comes off. I believe there are some screws or bolts behind, anyone any clues or a map to where they are hidden?
Think the centre console is easier - screw either side?
Thanks

Hi
Its an '86 350i looking very similar layout to Yatesys (Except been painted red)
Is that a "simple" pull-off one or do I need to get two additional joints into my arm
Oh no not drop the steering column, just got that back together...

Had a tentative tug, I mean pull, oh you know what I mean, tried to ease off the "wood" panel this morning and it seems pretty well secure. Like another poster I'm afraid of snapping it across one of the openings.
It's been off before to paint it, so wonder if it's been stuck down....need to spend a little more timewith it, not in the office car park.
