You can pull them off, but be careful
Right ventilation cover.

Rev meter + the two ventilation covers
Clean the covers and degrease them, then spray some plastic primer
Dry them all
Then paint them in the color you want, black in my case. after drying I sprayed a transparent layer to make the black look even nicer.
Speed indicator cover sprayed in black
After drying mounted back on the main cover.
Mounted back in the car. Make sure you mount the speed indicator cover before you mount the rev meter.
End result.
Finished rev meter

Again another great article, you are my saviour for modding my car! Could you paint the heating/ventilation controls and the slider as well? Or would you recommend getting these professionally painted as well?
Thanks!

I have done this but in red and I want to also do the middle dash bored part as well as the Heating/Ventilation controls and I was wondering if you would know how to get theses parts off?
Thanks
