Was fairly sure it just pulled out but it's been a while since I've taken the dash apart so wasn't 100% :lol: :lol:
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Hey sorry I've come into it so late, only just started on here.

Was it hard taking apart the bits of interior to respray, did you just give a quick sand and 2000 wet and dry with plastic primer??

Hey mans cheers for the kind words haha ... And yeah think I'm gonna need to cus and flare all the panels but will be so worth it once there done ! And pretty sure there genuine but got a good deal because of the small marks here and there but I was 500 for the four with the tyres almost new aswell so got a deal !!

Yeah well I'm booked for 11 march for my re sit so hopefully it will go better this time haha !

And aye I'm gonna get the race tube when I can but need to get my back box on as the old one had a huge crack and hole in it was totally destroyed !

Like love the idea of this boot lid but it's like 500 miles away ! Typical!

You can buy them boot plates on eBay, they come up for sale a fair bit and they weld straight on

Not a fan of the bonnet, it looks like something you'd find on a 90s import
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Yeahh my welding isn't so great though ahah it's just a shame when stuff like that comes up and it's almost always to far for me to get to !

And yeah I'm not with if I'm totally honest but like I said just temporary till I get somethink better !
