The centre bit is pretty well held on with glue and then covered with foam. Be careful taking that off and you're laughing. It all comes away in one big piece so it's easy to retrim although I found the suedey stuff I used first to be a total bastard but a good cloth and absolute diamond. Once that's on glue it back on, recover with foam and you're sorted. I've got a load of pics from when I did it and can happily pm them.
