Default Removal of Ghia T Bar surround
Bit of a n00b question..but, how do I remove the woodgrain/"alloy" surround thats around my T Bar?

Im sure its probably not that hard, but I just dont want to stuff it up, Ive sussed out (with some help) how to do the door spears without killing them.

I have some plans that I want to do tomorrow before the GOR cruise.

Cheers guys.

HAHA

Manual is not from lack of want trust me. It might happen one day, but most likely once the auto dies.

Wayne, I might take you up on that. Might do it next week as I need to keep some funds for the GOR cruise.

The stuff Im using costs $72 a meter!

A manual EL Ghia would be the ultimate E-series in my opinion.

I reakon! But if/when it does happen I would want to try and find an EL/EF box, I know there all pretty much the same thing but the newer the better.

Although, manual ghia plus turbo would be awesome, but that aint going to happen...lol
