I didnt buy the other 126, too messed up, only thing that could have been useful were the headlights, if they are H4, i dont know.

I had a burst of inspiration today. I think ill cover the grey dash plastic cover thingy with black leathercloth, should look smashin!

The only thing is i dont know how to remove the dash padding off, has anyone done this? The manual doesnt say anything.... :

I have removed mine here it is -

It is hooked on at the top on both sides by these clips so you need to lift it off....

At the bottom it is held in with small plastic lugs which you have to destroy to remove but local motor factors sell similar replacements!

The worst bit is where it is attached around the air blower in the middle. I just pulled mine out cos I am not putting it back but the air blower will need removing if you want to put it back! Also mine tore when I removed it, hope this helps!

It sure does, thanx! :wink:

I just vant to cover mine and put it back, but now a new problem has risen, how do you remove the air blowers?? I tried to do it before (so i could replace em, the left one is broken) but couldnt find any screws or anything else thet holds it in place???

Cheers

Don't get polski or 700, just FIAT both ends. Like to see a pic of them both!
