pestey Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 good moaning all, today is the day i get to wrap my center console in 3m carbon fibre. i've got the console out but now i'm wondering how to fully dismantle every single of my Gen7 console. i'm sure someone has done it before....... can anyone guide me through please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oMIKEYo Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) Dismantled and wrapped should be like this The heater unit obviously is separate. Not on this photo though. If you have dials like me they pull off. Cc I'm not sure think the front just comes off. Ashtray is on a clip and so is cubby whole Clock unit is screwed? Have fun don't forget where clock dome is you need to overlap it Edited November 5, 2011 by oMIKEYo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestey Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 how the hell do you get the ciggy lighter completely out??? also did you sand the parts down a little so the wrap sticks to it better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oMIKEYo Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) Doesn't need sanding. As if you remove the wrap you have nakd your console. Clean it thoroughly - don't use soapy water as can damage the adhesive of the wrap. Cig lighter Remove power leads from it then it twists one way from the back and comes out as a whole Edited November 5, 2011 by oMIKEYo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oMIKEYo Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) Wrap is a sticker lol. You need to stick it smooth it heat it etc etc. or you could pay rpsmith to do it for you The cig lighter may be on a plastic bolt. Of there is one, remove it and it will come out from the front. Be careful wrapping it though as its not as easy as it looks. Edit: look on the pic I put on of no cig lighter. Notice how there is a space on the bottom of the whole. That's where it twists and comes out Edited November 5, 2011 by oMIKEYo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3p Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) there is a metal what looks like a large nut on the very end of the cig lighter undo that & it will just fall out no twisting required well i suppose you must twist the nut oh err missus....lol Edited November 5, 2011 by sh3p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikca01 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 how the hell do you get the ciggy lighter completely out??? also did you sand the parts down a little so the wrap sticks to it better? alcohol wipes is a good buy. will stick much better if you use them first.
