Trim question
I have just found a piece of chrome trim in the driver's footwell.
It is about an inch long and very narrow with rounded ends.
It looks exactly like a miniature version of the chrome trim that appears on the storage compartment where the cupholders would go and also the piece on the ashtray lid.
It is quite small, and has four 'legs' which used to attach it to something, but what? I can't see anything obviously missing.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
I was used to this with Jaguars, but I knew where the bits went. I understand that French cars (except Peugots) are also notorious for gradually filling the footwells with bits of the dash.

Yes it is!!!
What a great thing this forum is.
It's a lot easier to see where it should go once you know!
Thanks very much,
John

I agree about the overkill, but I really think its cool for the in-dash CD Changer!!
Unfortunately, I guess its another part that will eventually fail and have us *****ing about Quality.
Funny how all these added features are what we whine about, but they are the same reasons why our cars stand out from the crowd (you listening Mr. Nissan?)
