trim removal tools
« on: November 13, 2010, 05:41:25 pm »
Ok I am about to/ maybe get a RNS510 and being a bloke I need to buy some toys, sorry tools to remove the dashboard. I have the rubber mat tray above not the diffuser. So anyone know of some decent plastic tools that will not scar up the plastic. I know some will say use a narrow blade but i like to do things with the minimum damage its a new car and she wil kill me if  i scratch it are these any good ?

Mine look like them but they were only a 5-piece set I think. Worked well but TBH they aren't absolutely necessary.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

...stealth do you ever sleep...
I have insomnia at times. This week's been pretty bad but thankfully I've been off work.

EDIT: I found the ones I bought clicky - though I don't recall them being as expensive in terms of P&P.
