[quote=""Sanj""]Cheeky gits! Ask me for anything at the Meet and you're on your own! £19.57 for the record!

He did say defo the sunglasses holder included but I don't think it will be. They just can't find this part number!?!?

We have looked in the past in Jeegnesh's car and that has the internal alarm sensors (I think that's what the fins in the plastic are) in the same place where my holder is. In mine the internal alarm thingy is in the b-pillar area - and Jig doesn't have one there....?

Where are yours?[/quote]

I aint giving no jip 8-) you've done well....how much for your glasses holder? :D

I've no idea where mine is....I'm guessing that (being a facelift) the internal alarm sensors are where the glasses bit should be. The (where the drop down bit should be) panel has slots in it



Does this sum it up?

facelift....moved alarm to front moulding....therefore no space for glasses holder....b pillar moulding has no alarm bits
pre facelift ....space for glasses holder and may actually have one too (but random)_....b pillar moulding has alarm and is different to facelift[/quote]

glasses holder could or should be a cheap seperate part to retrofit but one must by a whole console because it doesn't exist (to BMW) as a seperate part...but can only be put in (if it exists) or sourced from breakers...and only then if there is no alarm in the front console

so having (or the ability to have)sunglasses pimping is defined as....where your alarm is fitted :D

EDIT

Cut hole in headlining....fit this.....probably joking here as I'd not know if it could be fitted due to depth and sheer panic of doing it

Cheap though....apparently cheaper at the dealers....would have to be black

All sounds a bit technical to me.
I have one suggestion, why not wear the sunglasses but affix one of those chain thingy's to them so you can hang them round your neck when you don't need them.... Just like my Nan does
Pmsl

Sorry guys n gals
