Neat job! And one I'll have to do myself, seeing as I've bought such a jack ... Regards,

Does the polystyrene just lift out for modification or do I need to remove trim?
Cheers

no trim removal req
but removal of the polystrene is fiddly and a bit of an act of faith
pull towards yourself from the top and then kinda wriggle out at 45 degreesish
feels as though you may break it though ! - i've done 3 times now without breaking it so you should be ok
DiscoDunc did have a spare quite cheap - good luck Illegitimi Non Carborundum
