    Ok, so i just went into holden and ordered in my parts i will get them tomorrow, when i went to their service area i was then quoted $275 Max labour (about 2.5 hours work) when i was emailing about ordering the gear shift knob and hand brake button, does this sound right? anyway im not going to pay that much so looks like im going to have alot of fun this weekend installing these 4 bits of plastic, would you advise me to try it myself if i have never done this before or never removed the console etc.. is it easy with the how to guides on here? what do you think would be the hardest part to do?
    thanks

    It is easy to do, first thing I learnt was how to pull apart the dash.

    You see keen to learn, that's a good How To above, just go slow and look and learn as you pull it apart. If you get stuck, or can't figure something out, don't panic. Just post here and we can help.

    the cup holder is removable from the console....open the cup holder lid and console lid, then gently pull the cup holder lid up which will unclip the cup holders from the console. The clip is then accessible from the underside of the cup holders
