right depending on the age of you car its the white bit right?
two small screws at the front or a retaining lug above the three controls
hope this helps the screws are behind the controls--i think outer two knobs just pull off
the lug is at the back i think

I was thinking of doing my console silver and my knobs blue too! Can you post pictures up when you've finished it?
Can somebody post a fail-safe method of removing the air con knob please!?

I broke the shaft on 4 different air con switches trying to get that damned knob off and I still aint mastered it. Gets bloody expensive too as they are not replacable and you need to buy the complete unit
