I have a 2000 S in Arctic silver and the interior plastic trim pieces are finished in the rough grey paint that is worn, scratched, etc in places, basically looks like a 16 year old car

I am thinking of sanding everything down and painting in Arctic silver to match the body. I know how to get the center console off but does anybody know how to remove the following pieces:

Door flaps on the door pockets
Door pull bars
Plastic spacer piece behind the door pull bar
Covers in front of door handle - these look like they just pull off?
Emergency brake handle

Thanks!

Everything but the emergency brake handle I think is removed when removing the door panel to access the door innards and window hardware.

I had the passenger door panel off a while back but I don't trust my memory to try to detail what the steps are.

My advice is to search the web for a Boxster door panel remove DIY write up and use that. I may have also referred to the Bentley Boxster manual.

Ok, on a hunch I just checked and I have a PDF of the section from my Boxster factory manual on how to remove (and install) the door trim panel.

I attached it to this email. Hope it is some help.

This is perfect, thanks for posting it.

Anyone go over with a clear coat over the SEM trim black to give it some protection? Or is that not necessary
