Okay, got a no-hole-drill mobile phone bracket from Mike, whcih fits above the key slot.

So, now my question is how do you remove the panel? The panel in question are the ones you can specify when ordering your car in fluid silver, oakwood, brushed silver etc. I tried to contact mike but seems like his mailbox is full.

Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

The panel literally pulls out, it's just difficult to get your fingers behind it to do it. to make access easier it is worth removing the rev counter housing which is held in place by two screws, this is much easier than you may think.

Mikey sells the tools to romove the panel too.

Thanks for the responses guys!

I did not knew that Mike sold a tool for removing the dashboard, if I knew I would have for sure picked one up!

As above, the panel just pulls out, it is held by 3 push clips
