How to remove this interior piece from a 4200 facelift

[Delmonte]

As title says; I want to remove this piece to send to Lorenzo for finishing. I'd really like to not have to remove the full console if at all possible... Creating new rattles is my biggest fear in life... Anyway, i mean this piece, the plate that holds the cupholder, ashtray, mirror controls (Sorry cant upload pic, cant get file small enough?) How to remove safely?

If it's the same as prior, non-facelift models, then you have to remove the center console as a whole, in order to reach the screws underneath which hold the cupholder in place.

I made a custom cup holder and pocket in a recent thread that has pictures of the underside, it may help you with bolt location but someone probably posted a full removal thread...

Is my link from the other form with pictures https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?ur...hare_tid=120361&share_fid=177666&share_type=t

Thanks Ng. It does look like I’ll have to remove console then ☹️
I’ll just bite the bullet. By the way, once removed, is it easy to reinstall the console properly and rattle-free, or is it one of those nightmares where you can just never find the bolt holes in the tunnel and end up drilling new ones in frustration....?

Nope, super easy to realign and tighten down the screws. Mine had a few already removed, but you may be able to loosen the two rear most screws and lift up for access to the rest. Mine was halfway disassembled, but it looks like you need to start with the armrest pocket and work your way inward...
