ae86 clock shroud

[reg450]

hi


i just bought a $600 sprinter its smashed up front and has all the pieces on it i want to get the clock shroud to put in my good sprinter but i don't want to brake it any ideas how to remove it thanks

[Jonny Rochester]

Yeah, they always break. Good luck.

Buy a new one, not expensive but only in black.

The manual shows a picture of sticking a flat blade screw driver in the side to release the clip, but I have never got one out in one piece. I would try some flat steel like a hacksaw blade or something, but be really careful.

if you have a fair bit of time, you can remove the instrument cluster, and behind there you should be able to reach the metal clips on the plastic shroud. But you still have to really careful, if you get a new black one you can dye them with VHT vinyl dye it works really well

[JDM_KING]

their fragile as anything, giving them a flick would probably break them
i had one in a box i went to pick it up and it snapped on the corners
you'll most likely break it man but be real careful you could get away lucky
i think justin from kyouteki sells em but just incase

[stefan]

just use a black one they wont break when u take em out

[reg450]

ALL good guys i got it out with hacksaw blades i can't belive i didnt brake it i sprayed it black and put it in the good sprinter thanks for the help guys

You sprayed it black! If you tell me it was a maroon you're a dead man!

I would have bought you a brand new black one for $18.

whats the part number for the brand spanking new ones? i went to toyota spare parts in nunawading and according to them no such part exists as well as kouki bumpers....

[Jonny Rochester]

Hmmm, Nudawading are ment to be one of the good ones. The clock surround is a easy one, the kouki bumpers I'm not so sure about.

It's in the part number thread. And unfortunately every colour defaults back to black - absolutely positively. No other colour is available.

only problem is that they don't look like a kouki bar.... you could probably get a decent quality second hand kouki one for less than that.
