How easy?

How easy is it to get this part out to vinyl wrap? It’s got a few scratches on it that are annoying me so I want to wrap it the same as I done the rest of it.

I believe anything involving centre console removal is a right royal pita!

Having done it, ^ this.

Maybe the scratches will grow on me then

I did mine in situ, was a bit of a faff but I got there in the end.

Takes about 40 mins to get it out. I used this great guide here:

First time I took mine out it took me about 1.5hrs working nice and slow so as not to crack or damage anything. Can do it in about an hour now and a lot less to put it all back thankfully. Once you get the centre console out there is approximately 1 million torx bolts holding everything together....or so it seems

Great thread thanks

As above I’d allow a couple of hours the first time to get this out. Getting the knee pads off can be a real pita. Once you’ve done it once it’s easier and quicker of course.
