My very silver interior

Well I dont think Ive ever posted pics of my interior, and Ive done a few changes to it so thought I'd show n tell

What I've done:
- Silver center console and passenger strip (sprayed)
- Silver TF steering wheel
- Engine start button by gear stick
- Aluminium pedals

Not a long list but IMO its an improvement over standard, so Im happy with it

You dont really need a How To mate, its quite easy to figure out as you go along.

Take your radio out, stick your hand in the hole and push the buttons at the top out (they just pop out, towards you), and theres 2 screws you should be able to see just behind where 2 of the buttons were.

Theres another 1 screw on either side of the console, around abouts where your left knee would be as a driver, right knee as a passenger.

The final two screws are hidden behind a plastic blank between the gear stick and the left arm rest/drink holder thing. I forget which end the plastic blank pivots, so just pry it gently with a knife or something similar.

After that, just pull the center console towards you enough so that you can unplug the cables behind (climate control etc) and I think thats it, out it comes!

Oh yeah need to take the gear knob off too - pulls off.

When you have the console out the passenger strip should pull off fairly easily, its just clipped on.

Like the steering wheel.

What's the thing with a starter button ? Do you not need to put the key in now ? If you do, then I'm not sure about doing that, then using a button ?

My Scenic had a starter button. Fine with that as a sensor on the key meant that it could stay in my pocket. Just get in, and press the button, no keys.

Yeah, still have to put the key in. Its more for the cool factor tbh - its a great feeling starting the engine with a button for some obscure reason!

Nice, i like where you put the button. Need to get one myself. I had one on my cavalier and must admit it felt well cool pushing a button to start the engine.
