The first step is to remove the old (bravo) console. You do it like so. First remove the clips and screws near the front end of the console on its sides (circled red) Then remove the rubber in the “shelf“ of the bravo console using a knife or a small screwdriver and lift it up. Unscrew the screw underneath it. Lift the gear stick gator like in the pic above and use force to get the gear knob off – grip the gear knob with your hands and pull in the direction of the arrow (upwards)

Then using your finger or a small flat head screwdriver lift the mirror switch plate by inserting the screwdriver in the place of the yellow arrow. After you have lifted the plate, disconnect the connector that is on its down part of the plate and unscrew the screw that is on the console (place of the screw marked by red arrow) Then take off the hand brake gator and leave the hand brake up.

After you have done the above, take out the rear ashtray and unscrew the two screws underneath. Now the console is free of any connections to the car chassis. So to get it out, pull its rear end up in the arrow direction. Now comes the hard part ! Making the went pipes to work and making a bracket for them if you don’t have holes for it. (think MK1 bravos don’t have the holes) First position and screw in the marea console front holder. Then put the large pipe on and screw it in also.
