Well it has taken me long enough and the best excuse i have is i was waiting for the weather to improve, in fairness you need to be careful with plastics in cold weather, especially plastics that are 10 years old - need treating with a little respect.
Right then, having removed the centre air vent previously i knew how difficult that job is, first time it took me 2 hours, this time 2 mins, literally! using 3 credit cards to jam the catches. the side vent was a bastard and fell to pieces as i was removing it. it is made up of many, many pieces and i strongly suggest you do not drop any of the bits under the seat without realising otherwise you too could waste 3 hours of your life! The rest is simple, remove the head unit an retaining screws and swap over.
TBH it looks better in the flesh so to speak and i am very pleased, the old dash's finish was very fragile and easily marking and coming off even when being carefully cleaned.
If anyone is interested in getting one of these then let me know as i have a cunning plan.
