remove the fascia on headunit

Post by navid.v » Fri Oct 14, 2011 2:14 pm

I know this has been covered before somewhere but can't find it. I have the original headunit in greyish colour, would like to change it to black. found another headunit which is faulty which I am not really concerned about as I just need the front cover.

can anybody tell me how to change the front covers? any photos or guides anywhere?

thanks in advance.

No it's not for sale! I'll get around to purchasing some black airvents sometime and when I do I'll be swapping to the black facia -it'll all match my dash panel a bit better than the current grey ones do:
