It takes all of 10 seconds to do... Support the cap between two tables, or similar, and get the biggest socket you can into the round key area and smack it a couple of times. Did it with my old turbo one, it came out on the second blow. My NA was the same. I take no responsibility for anybody doing this though, so dont bother if you arent confident about it. Prising it out would make much more of a mess though :P

Sorry slow to notice this one. If I could please add my handbrake handle and carpet screws if that isn't a hassle. But still in either way.

I am still in for this. Not managed to get hold of a filler so you can knock that off mine. Just the gear surround, window winders and handbrake handle for me. Anyone know if they can do aluminum indicator stalks?

Soz. Can still include (if they can do it).

Are you talking about removing the aluminium disc that's stuck to the switch & the bezel that it sits within? I don't know how they'd suspend the disc for the process without leaving obvious areas that the anodising didn't apply.

If you can, send me a photo of it broken down & I'll ask.

:D

I havent got mine to hand, t the bezel is just a metal ring, and the button is just a cap, I imagine suspending it on opened scissors, if you see what I mean.. Although any clasp marks I could point towards the windscreen.

Hi Matt (and everyone else who's shown interest)

Apologies for the silence.

I'm awaiting a response to an email I sent them (only got around to finalising the photos and details for sending it today though as I've been uncharacteristically busy with work over the past week).

They've got all my contact details now too so if I don't hear from them by Tuesday I'll give them another call.

Thanks for bearing with me.
