we stripped the display area down and then we got the dimensions of the display housing and cut the alcantara to measure. its then double seemed on the inside and then single seamed twice on the outside. rolled over the inside of it and then tucked away behind a lip on the underside of the display. the holes for screws and locating points are all retained and final job looks pukka. we're goin cover a fair bit in me motor as a sort of demo. next is the tweeter trim on the doors.

like u said though just pull off. the bastard things are the blue clips that hold it in and then getting it back in by where the trim is for the front seatbelt.
next thing is tweeter trim. goin shave out the little grille where the tweeter sits behind and then cover it and then have a adjustable movement tweeter where the cut out was. goin look smart.
