Hi
I've been pondering, but not entirely sure I have the guts to try....... Has anyone swapped out their OM Start/Stop button, for a more sporty coloured one? Either red, or blue I guess as well.
My question: How did you get the OM one out? I've seen people on YouTube yanking them up with what looks like super sticky tac stuff, but not sure I have the guts to try.....although, I'd love to fit a red replacement button
Cheers all
Bri

did it on my old BMW - never again as you end up dinting the surrounding plastic no matter how careful you are. The sticky gum didn't really work well. The red button looked great, but the dents on the trim didn't.

I thought that... I like the car too much to damage anything.

I ordered a glass one from AliExpress it came with a sticky gum to remove the original button, totally cover the button with the gum and pull straight up and it just popped off.

Did you have to pull it hard? I'd hate to think that the original button would snap its retaining clips, and fall into the button below. That'd be just my luck

No just a quick, pull straight up and it just pops off , and can be refitted any time.

I did it with the Red button from IND. Same as above. Sticky putty worked fine, and no dents whatsoever.
