pretty easy mate.

i started by taking out my front seats, then rears. theres a small bolt you need to find which is in between the seat back and seat bottom itself which is found more on the left passengers side (can get pics for you if i've confused you a bit).

after that i went by taking the door sill/ side steps bits out and then to the armrest box, hand brake bit etc.

the foot rest in the drivers side foot well too needs to be taken out unless you really wanna cut around it.

last but not least if you don't wanna cut your carpet up, you might have to take parts of your centre console out to get to the very front of the carpet.
theres a metal frame thingo which is bolted down but also connected to parts of the centre console. when i got up to this bit i already got somewhat frustrated so i just cut a small bit of my carpet instead.

i hope my explainations aren't so confusing and helped a bit. might've left a thing or two out but thats the main stuff if my memory serves me right.

remove front and rear seats. remove the trim around the gearstick and the handbrake. and the rest is a no brainer

you dont need to remove the trim around the door step, and the kick panels.. but thats if you're lazy
