the one's on the driver & passanger side just un-clip mate. But the centre one has 3 star-screws on them. Then it should pop off after you've taken the screws out

Nice car you've got there. Just like mine but in mk2 form.
I would suggest a new headunit if you've still got the standard one, and new front speakers. Depends on how much money you have to spend.
And is it the pics or are you bumper strips a bit faded? If they are get some peanut butter and clean them with that. Make sure it's smooth though.

Quick Update: Centre Console.

I recommend the one I've got, I got it for £60 from halfords, I think it was on special offer at the time.
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165474
I'm thinking about spraying my interior bits gloss black, posi blue would be a bit too bright I think. I'm also gona get some new speakers when I've got a bit of money.
