anyone???? Could really do with this off tomight.

right I've hasd mine off today to smoooooth it but that ideas didnt work

all i did was open it maybe 4/5 cm then twist down (quite stiff) but it did pop out eventually (and i was a little worried at first) dont worry though lol it will go alot easier

great,,ill give it a go now mate,,,thanks for your help.

right matey,,,just give it a go and snapped it clean off the hinge lol,,,,could you explain a little more how you managed it please.

aaarrrgh I'm gonna go nuts here,,,please someone help,,,I've tried everything.

I'm guessing these things just dont come off,,I'm on my 2nd day of trying now,,god knows.

pm,ed mate... sorry about that but honestly that IS what i did

does anyone know if I've got to remove the plastic ring that sits around the hole itself????

the guy doing my car said it was a pain to remove them so just smoothed mine without taking it off/

think u do need to remove the plastic lining though

thats great mate,,,ill give it a go later,,,thanks for the reply,,much appreciated.

If it comes to it you can get at it from the wheel arch apparently http://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=52780
