The door trims are rivited to the door panel
They are easy to carbon wrap in place

The trim above the glove box does come out, open the glove box and remove the screws beneath

Here is a thread that will help you out

Pre-FL has different fuel and temp gauges

Mines a pre-fl. They say the steering wheel ones pop off but I've had no luck

I actually wanted to plastidip them so Im afraid I cant leave them on. Overspray will go everywhere and take ages to clean. Unless I have a massive extractor vaccum there haha.

Hmmm, you will have to remove the door panels and tape them up real good

I don't think I would use plastic dip on the inside
Apart from the application problem, not sure how it will wear

This is the inside of my Pre-FL Octavia (Jan09 Build)





One more of the outside...

I forgot to mention, since I took those I've only changed the head unit to a Bolero (taken from a Yeti)

Good idea.

I think it should last pretty well, going with the assumption that my passengers and I wont be touching it all the time... I'll have a thought to myself next time I drive to see if I do keep rubbing it.

I've already done the center fascia and Im happy with the look. Will post a pic soon
