Clubmans have a black vinyl crash pad across the top & bottom of the dash. Is it possible to remove these and fit them to a round nose shell?

I think so. Just a couple of screws under the vinyl.
Well, I hope so, I want to do the same thing.

Yep.

Top one has 3 or 4 studs in it, that pass through the metal rail. You might nees to drill holes for these studs.

Bottom one is glued on, then held with some trim clips on the back top edge.

Easy peasy :wink:

easy peasy. Dont get too enthusiastic and wreck your bottom one when you take it off.
Slow and steady wins the race! I got a little "enthusiastic and ripped it in half!! :oops:

Lucky i have a replacement!

I remember the studs in the top one. Makes that easy.

The bottom one that's glued on, do you think some heat would help soften the glue maybe?
