Gav how did you remove the fog light plastic cover??
There are three hex/Allen key bolts toward the top. Two you can see easily but the third is towards the far right (on the offside surround) and the far left (on the nearside) in a longer/deeper hole. You'll need either a long 4 Allen key or a slim extension bar. I had to spray loads of wd40 and leave it over night as it was rusted tight. I'd spray the wd, wait and then over tighten slightly to break the rust and then it should come out. Once all the bolts are free, just pop it out. I use trim removal tools so you don't scratch the paint work.
Just be careful as replacements of the surrounds are £40 each and bolts are £2.97 a side.

Ok chaps! What is it?
Update
Well this is what I've been working on!
It still needs a tweak here and there and the lift collar needs to be adjusted/modded (see Demi's how to) but I've run out of time today and need to go to work! The old gearknob would not come off and resulted in a slight hand injury lol but ill hopefully have it finished soon enough
The gearknob is from a Honda Civic Type R for those of you who were wondering!

liking that a lot!
might be tempted myself, just not sure on the amount of tweaking involved!

Popped down to Fiat to pick up the bolts for the fog light surrounds but they had ordered the wrong ones :0(
Seems the Fiat systems are wrong! Ill have the right part number on Tuesday should anyone need it.
One shock was that the lift collar plastic part is only £4! I do wonder about Fiats pricing sometimes lol

Update
Well the bits have arrived!
Should anyone need to replace the screws in the fog light surrounds (which I'd suggest you do if they are rusting), the part number is 14303021 and they are about 80p a screw!
Should you also want to change the gearknob, the lift collar part (which needs to be modified) is only £4 and its part number is 71738103.
A slight update regarding the gearknob - it fits! There is a thread in the gearknob that you need to drill out slightly but no more modding than that! The main modifying comes from the lift collar part, which now I have my replacement I can begin.

Gavin where did you get the gear knob lift collar but from? Thanks
I'd go for Dark edition Gav since u have black Panda. Smoke would be visible. Dark would give u stealth look. If u still not sure u can always Photoshop both to see which u'd prefer.
