I finally did it, it took me almost four hours and cut finger  (the way between the driver's door and the trunk's one is littered with the drops of my blood  )

Here is what I received in the local post office at 14 o'clock

Having grabbed the necessary tools and printed materials I went downstairs to my car (14:30, approximately)

I spent some time trying to remove the fascia, which turned out to be a hard nut, I started with lower side and managed to undo the right and center claps easily, whereas the left one stayed on its place a little bit longer.
Anyway I did remove it




Now the most boring and tiring part of work awaited me - to cut all unnecessary parts. That was when I cut my finger by Leatherman multi-tool (Surge)


Having completed with cutting I placed the fascia back


later on it was followed by glove box

18:30 - all works completed

Good Job Meecha! I bet u didnt feel the cut finger as it looks VERY cold where you were working!

Super mod
although if i have to be critical, it might benefit with a small file at the left hand corner of the surround to make it fit smooth??

But a great mod all the same, will make it easier when you change the radio

The world ends tomorrow?!!!! 
Damn, does the media know about it? We may profit from this event as we seem to be only one, who know anything.

Good Job Meecha! I bet u didnt feel the cut finger as it looks VERY cold where you were working! 

it was -4°C, not cold as compared with recent -27°C, though I spent 4 hour in the car with door almost open and open when I was sawing plastics.

No photo of blood???

You ever been to Northern Ireland? You would probably think it exotic to Russia :/

-4 would be frightful to work in.

I do wish my car had the dashboard cubby - it can be used for hiding a pop-up sat-nav. The design of the 2012 i30 dashboard will not allow such a retrofit.

What does stop you from installing it then?

rustynutz

It's too late - my car is due to be replaced shortly with the 2012 model.

Foreseeing your question: prove that this drop of blood is not mine

The day before yesterday I forgot to saw off three cover's attaching points on fascia (I know, I know: what a shame on me  )
So yesterday I had a chance to rectify my mistake
