Hey guys,

Just wondering how I remove the anodised strip that goes along the top of the bottom dash rail?

As some of you may know I had my kick plates chromed and I wish to do the same thing with this but I can't see how it attaches. I thought it would be best to ask first because I reckon I'd break it otherwise!

Cheers, Nick

I just ripped mine off, its held on with clips from memory. I bought a brand new one from Mini Kingdom or Mini Car Clinic years ago. Mini Spares Centre may still have them brand new?

Put a long as piece of wood that will fit,,gentle tap,tap no worries!! You could put a bit of rag on first so you don't damage it,work your way along..I think there's 4 clips 2 in the middle near the raised section,and 1 each end!!

Thanks, guys. I'll give that a go tomorrow because I'm out on a chrissy lights run tonight!

Try and get it new first. Will be cheaper then getting it re-chromed.

Suffolk, that worked like a treat!

Hanra - I like the look of chrome over anodised myself. Plus everything in/on my car has turned out to be expensive anyway so why not just continue with that?

Seriously though, I did have a bit of a quick look and couldn't find a new one.

Note-
ALL Clubbies have one of these fitted (WHY???) but it's hidden under the bottom dash pad.
Easier to find an unmarked one here than new...

Id try Mini Spares with this P/N: 14A8009 and see if its still available new... Mite still work out to be cheaper then getting yours re-chromed.
