Thx for the offer Boban but i'm from Melb, that's very kind of you... cheers mate

Did you end out getting it off bro?

I now need to do the exact same thing and she's glued for sure...

seems like the only solution is to use a hair dryer, but i haven't actually tried it yet.

tried that.. doesn’t work:o

Some parts look to be heat pressed :thumbdwn:

I'd like to see pics of someone who was able to get it off without damage!!

I know there's no way I can, I've busted one already grrr

I used a heat gun (guess that was higher temp than the hair dryer - has 300c and 500c setting :p) to get mine off. I did it in sections mate, starting from one corner and work slowly along the top off it and so on. Maybe try and put something like toothpick in between the areas you unglued already so they don't stick back togrther coz the glue will be hot.... dunno what else to say appart from....nah that's all i got :D

Mine arrived yesterday. Looks Sick. Now to put it in. Should be no problems

Let us know how you go & preferably a DIY would be great!

Installed it already. Basically just used a hairdryer to heat it up slightly then used very thin flathead screwdriver to split apart. Focus on one side first. Then heat up other parts slowly and use stanley knife to precisely split the plastic apart. In around 10-15 mins should be all off.

Bezel fits very nicely. Great product.

Got pics Type One, mine's looking kinda boring with white bezel and now white indiglows :(, wanna change it to something else

Pic will come soon. Once ive wired everything up. Im converting the dash lights to LED also to give the cluster a full EK9 theme.

Yeah i got blue LED's with mine, but unfortunately one indicator one isn't working atm.

I HAD blue led's in mine b4 i bought the indiglows. They were little push in blade light bulbs like you use in parkers up the front, but smaller (5mm from memory) but i kept blowing them up for some reason. I have my alarm connected so the taillights/parkers flash instead of the indicators, maybe that's why they kept blowing up. Anyhow, at $15/pair it worked out chaper for me to get some blue indiglows :p

i got everything installed. pics up tm. doesnt look like ek9 style at nite. the lgihts are very red. looks more like cl7 Euro-R style dash
