    It just unclips there are a series of clips along the top and bottom and then the back white bit comes off and then you remove the black fascia bit and ready to paint

    Looks ace champ!
    I was thinking of just painting the standard 2-piece of the dash rather then most of the parts that you have done, but i think that you may have changed my mind!
