Removing Mk2 clock surround?

[DaveDreads]

I've searched loads but other than removing the whole dash and masking it up,
I can't seem to find a thread or any guides on how to remove the centre console surround for spraying.

The bit around the clock and vents, anyone know how to do this or am I just sh*t at searching?

Removing the dash is a easy job Dave.

So I do have to remove the whole dash and mask up the clock surrounds?

Is there no other way of getting the trim off then?

Are you on about the actual surrounds that go around the face of the clocks? On the previous page, the part I had done in carbon?

If so then all I did once the clocks were out was push the "pins" out with a small Philips screwdriver and they separated off. I did however snap 2 but once it was out I just tiger sealed the new one back in.

And unfortunately you do do have to remove the top of the dash to remove the clocks.

Ah right'o cheers mate, i'll leave it untill the dash needs to come off for something in the future, probably white dials.

But i'm a very lazy man, so I think i'll blank it for the time being.

Haha! It is a pi$$ easy job but I guess laziness wins this time

I also snapped two! Very annoying, why can't they just use bolts...
