Then unclip the globe from the shifter surround. Reverse to install  yes i did if you see my introduction post you can see that i have put quite a bit in since i bought the car just over a month ago. new cat back sports exhaust i got for free when i discovered the old one was bogged for a roadworthy. i hit the guy i bought it from for a new one and he payed. new steering wheel from an au xr new momo shifter, woodgrain surround and i put some of my own blue globes into the dash the surround and footwells. i have just purchased a j3 chip and an xr8 bf gt pod box and a special scoop from ebay that forces air into the snorkel. so i have been busy.

I've found the AU has been weird to mod after all this work I've done on the EA. To fit chrome interior door handles meant I had to remove the door trims. To change the shifter surround meant I had to pull out the console, and as for when I fitted my EL GT steering wheel, I know what you mean about the bloody 5 pointed torx bit!

if you think au's are bad, dont touch an fg. from the b series to the f series everything has gone torx bolts. you need torx drivers to remove your door tim, the speakers, hell you even need them to open the air cleaner to change the filter!
