No problem, I didn't take it that way! :thumbsup:

I've got a standard ZHP at the moment, so want to lift the gaiter to check whether the illumination works before I risk life and limb getting the ZHP off. :lol:
You don’t even need a trim tool to get the gaitor off. From either side you can just push it inwards at the base towards the gear lever andit will pop out.
Never tried that tbh. Thank you, that makes life a lot easier.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

Centre console trim removal

I did this last winter so I could wrap the centre console in carbon. When you watch videos or read guides it seems a lot more daunting than it is. It really is quite straight forward. It's also a good chance to give that section of your car a hoover :D

The worst part for me was the knee pads. I scratched one up pretty badly, even with a plastic tool. Luckily I had a spare.
