I'm currently taking my front centre dash off to paint and am waiting for my new wheels to arrive today. is it possible to drive without the centre dash installed or would it be best not to? See i need to go pick up me tyres when the wheels arive.

any help would be ace folks

p.s posted this in the help section but its like a ghost town in there.

Doesn't matter, Haynes say about the battery just to be safe!

I've never disconnected mine when removing the dash!

right folks i have the whole lot of the centre dash out and stripped the only thing left i have to do is remove the centre of the 3 round heater buttons. it says ye have to put a thin screw driver type thing in and depress it and out pops the button. but it doesn't tell you where to press or whatever.

need this out asap so i can spray it all b4 it gets dark. cheers lads.
