Looks great! What paint did you use to spray the vents? I guess the large rectangular centre vent was a pain to grind?
Hello, sorry for the late reply, i have been a bit busy lately by other issue with my Xk8.
So to reply to your question regarding the paint used, I used a spray of Foliatec black mat.
I just finish this weekend to repspray the center console and it looks quite good (I have to do also the chrome part) or at least much better than before.
For the big central vents of the dashboard, I saw some post that it was complicated to remove them, so maybe I was lucky but for me, i just used a long thin slim flat screwdriver of modelism and passed it through the vent opening to pinch the plastic sort of screw which is retaining the vent and pull it slightly in the meantime, and it got released easily.
Now I will attack the last parts which are the wonderful buttons below the Infocenter and the plastic from the doors (handling ones, see pictures below)
If you have a tutorial to dismantle it, you're welcome to share it
I looked also the fusebox as suggested, no trace of humidity or liquid leaks.
