following Sigs tutorial, i have taken off my speedo cover, plastic casing around the steering wheel and my glove box.
I am having real problems taking off my vents and the passenger crash panel.
i have read through all the tutorials and i am still having trouble in taking these off.
i well be spraying these parts BMW artic silver once i done all the recommended DIY.
Any help well be good thanks
Dan

get too flatheads, preferably small. following the rather crappy pic, put one flathead up the top of the vent by pushing the vent itself down enough untill the circle thing you move about to aim the air flow (you know) has gone under and one on the side so you can "wiggle" it out. prise it out by pulling towords you (remove the two screws when you get the vent down too, soz forgot about tht)
hope this helps  and for the passanger crash panel you'll see a screw once the vent is removed and there are two underneath it

i'll host um 4 you
also to make sanding quicker use a higher grade paper first to get rid of the effect then go over with the 600grit wet & dry thats what i did and it seems to be quicker

yeh i noticed that sanding it with the 600 grit, it had worn down the paper quick. so i started using something more ruff jus to start it off .

Interior is now done apart from 1 last bit, The Drivers side vent, cant seem to take off the wires connecting to the lights.
all other parts have now been primed x2, sprayed x3 and laquered x3, i have now put them back into the car after a good 5 hrs drying time. Looks amazing for 2 days work.

If you are actually struggling taking the car apart as such maybe get a haynes manual? Will be good for when you come to put it back together and other stuff too?
