   Easy mate, there are 5 screws to remove.
   
   You have 8 plugs, where you hazard light control and others are located, remove the two on either end which are half the size of the ret, there is one screw behind each of these which must be removed
   
   next there are two more half way down the centre console on the edges, you will have to look from underneath to see these, take them out too.
   
   And then there is one more right at the bottom, holding the base in. take this one out also, then it should just pull out!!
   
   Good luck!!

    You will have to look from the bottom of the centre console to see where the screws are if you havent done it before.
    
    i'd go with a white mate, definitely!!
