How did you ghetto guys remove these? (Clock surround Q)
Hey everyone,
I'm thinking out doing the clock surrounds in chrome, they look pretty dull black on black.
How did you guys remove the black surround off the the clear plastic, each looks like its attached in the corners so I was thinking of taking a small drill bit to them and carefully removing them
Did anyone else do it another way?

You can just buy a new OEM replacement (both the gauge accents and plastic) for about 60 dollars from Malloy Mazda. I went that route last year, the chrome finish looks excellent brand new.
edit: I just noticed you live in Wales so shipping costs would be inflated, but its worth a shot.

Could be worth a try, I was saying that as a price direct from Mazda UK, over here we get ripped off for literally everything
Fuel is the worse, its $7 / gallon

The surrounds are heat welded to small studs on the clear lens, they are fairly easy to pry loose. I used a utility knife to pry them off - I repainted mine Aluminum to match the Autometer guages I installed. I reattached them with some super glue.
