i'd like to know this too

i think they're just pushed into little clips, like the plastic around the steering column.

I'd like to know this aswell... also bond101 where did you get the piano black replacement trim, I'm not fussed on paying my dealer £500

Hey all, went down my dealer today they said it would cost £40 to get the bits fitted an they would do it half an hour while i wait, and I asked, and it does require the dash taking to bits unfortunately!!! I was lucky on ebay, bought them for £20 whod order an r56 part for his r53, so should be more like £60 overall! I really should of just specced piano black.... but you can say that about everything! You have to stop somewhere with the options list... dont you?

I do not think it will require the dismanteling of the entire dashboard as Mike is offering his "no holes" dash mount phone/MP3 holders, which get fitted right between the dash trim and the dash.

He mentioned it is a matter of minutes to get it fitted.

They just pull off dash. Unless you got the storage compartment and that one is screwed on the moving lid.
