   I have seen a few of you have sprayed up the plastic around the cd player, vents etc.. i know how to pop the vents off, is it the same with the plastic oval bit in the center or is there more to it?

   iirc theres a few torx bolts where you need some male torx to get it off.
   
   I could be wrong though.

   There are some T25 screws holding it in,
   
   Two facing the floor, put your head on the carpet and look upwards, you'll see them.
   Two behind the blanking switches at each side of the buttons (hazzard, demister etc)
   One right down at the bottom
   
   
   Maybe 2 more, cant remember off top of my head.

   cud do it blue to match ya car but i think it looks a bit cheap and out of place unless you do it gloss black or summit so it stands out a bit but not a lot
