If I am thinking about the right things, I think they are just screwed on and you might be able to get new ones from you dealer.

If you speak to Chris @ Woodmans (member on here) he should be able to help you.

These are the part numbers for the dark grey 'knee protection' and the arm rest.

Knee Protection

51452752130
51452752125
51452752120

Arm Rest

51412753315
51412753316

I am not 100% sure if they are right, but Chris will know.

I asked the same question at the dealer last month and the response was that the arm rests simply clipped in, but the pieces on the dash were a lot of effort to change.

As far as I am aware the knee protection bits are just held in with a few screws, but you have to take certain parts of the dash off to get to the screws.

cream colour line

is it actually possible to change the colour line to cream??

i've just ordered my clubman with a black interior/piano trim/anthracyte headline and i am worried it will be too dark with the grey dash and wanted to change it to cream.
i just talked to the dealer but they say it is too late!! should i just insist? the order only went though this morning!

I was thinking of changing my colour line, or at least some of it, to yellow.

Yellow is no longer available from a dealer, is it possible to pick up the bits elsewhere?

Thanks
