Need any feedback. Mine also dropped down but put it back with black screw. Somebody says use chrome screw will look nice. nesh oso got the same problem. he use rubber glue. would be interesting what new design you can come up with..

Same here, mine is breaking into two now. Some stoopid workshop (that powerful workshop) 'glued' it for me and it was a disaster. It look so ugly now that the glue is actually sticking out. damn. Was wondering if its hard to find a halfcut one outside?

can make arm rest also. I think a lot of 318 do not have this as standard.

Well i'll try to but it may be costly ...Will check with him ... if can then we need at least like 10 buyers then go lar..Lemme check if it can be done first ..Back to Glove Bos: He has taken the measurements and waitnig for him to find out best and most cost effective solution cheers

 

[flash]

Let's see, my wish list... to redo my glove box cover and to get an arm rest, if the price is right.
