Ive been trying to remove these pannels and in trying to do so i have chipped abit of my skin off with a scew driver, is there anyway to take this plastic screw bit out, ive tried pushing it out form the back since i just have enough hand space, tried leavering out and when i try normal it just keeps turning left, so for now ive given out, and i was lucky with the other side just being loose already

its called a scrivet.
The centre bit screws into the outer bit pushing out some feet behind and locking the part in place
If u have damaged it so far then the only option is to drill the centre out of it.
If its still somewhat good you use a phillips head and "lightly" screw the centre screw out, any force will just push the screw back in and keep winding and winding.

Carpet dye or vinyl dye same stuff from supercrap auto. I think they even have a special on it at the moment too. They stock 3M brand and its pretty good.
The parcel shelf is slightly molded (shaped) in each corner. So a new piece of flat wood wont look as good. I simply left my old brown carpet on the old parcel shelf and glued on new black carpet over the top. Use contact adhesive on both sides, not too much so it doesn't leak through the new carpet. then wait for it to get tacky and glue it on. The speaker covers I sprayed with black vinyl dye. You need lots of coats though.

i thought of another solution that i think will look very good perviuosly when i visited clark rubber, do 2 layers over the top of the carpet with a really low density foam which will make it nice and squishy and stop some vibrating and some insulation for sound and place some black vinyl, i recon this will look sweet.
