Was just a case of prying it up (Gently) with a flat head screw driver or trim remover. AUX and USB ports just clip in to it. The pain in the backside is that while they are attached to it, it's a bit of an annoyance to move it around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Ta man. Think tomorrow's efforts will be swap this.

JayG90 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Don't think I've ever seen that colour! a really nice colour for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazman23 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 It's always annoyed me that the USB port is upside down, but I figured it was just to stop any dirt getting on the contacts if you have nothing plugged in... Older models had a little flap over them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraking Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Hmm I hadn't thought of dirty contacts. May remove the SanDisk logo instead then Candy blue is a lovely colour. There's a zetec on street in same colour. And s in town. And the dealer I got mine from has one atm. So I've seen a few now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I've seen a few now Dirty contacts might not be a problem if you're always going to have the USB connected. I hardly unplug mine. Candy blue is a beautiful colour. I was debating between that and deep impact blue when I was buying my car. Candy blue was too expensive unfortunately so went with deep impact. Can't complain really. Candy Blue is a head Turner though :-D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yeah lucky I bought second hand. Didn't need to fork out for it. Shame the rest of the options boxes weren't ticked mind 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 todays efforts. gave it some quick detailer, clay bar'd tthe bonnet. found what ever this orange stuff is on my diffuser when looking for an exhaust :) was right in the honeycomb too, so got a quick brush out and wipe down also made up my mind on the rear badges. both came off.couldnt do with the diesel econetic badge any longer. some heat and strimmer wire a spot of wd40 and a final once over with clay cleared them up a treat hoping for the sun to bugger off so i can start waxing. and then waiting for the wheel sealent to turn up and my outside tap fitting (water butts empty for strange reason) and get get the wheels off then ill be happy for now and can get on with just maintanance washing it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Strangely enough I also removed my front wheels today, sealed them with Inspired Automotive Finalise Pro temporarily as I'm not spending money on C5 for standard wheels. that can wait for the JR11s I also cleaned the arches, and applied Autoglanz Trim Reaper. Brilliant stuff! Used it to restore the WHITE faded plastics on the girlfriends mk6 back to a nice solid black without the greasy/sticky finish I'd recommend it for your trim and tyres mate!

supraking Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Cheers buddy. I'll bare that in mind. I just gave them a spray with Halfords special tyre shine (my bum) Think I went abit crazy with the c5. Will have to be a bit stingier with the next 3 wheels lol Had fun though. Been a while since I've done a wheel off clean. There not perfect. But should suffice Also missed a finished picture 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 And moved the s badge across one honeycomb. Sits much better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
