Besides - the fact that we overclock means we are tinkerers and fiddlers - if I can pull off the removal of the dash and installation of the above products it will be very satisfying every time I use them to know the effort I went through! Will just have to try and avoid boring my friends with stories about the installation!
Best place to source a bit of trim

I'm sure i saw other threads about things up with the car. I also don't know the market for E46 318i cars. It was a question not a statement.

Forums, find someone breaking one that is willing to mail out minor parts. I just bought a hand-brake lever trim this way.

But it isnt a minor part, its physically the same part as the whole dash. The only way you'll get it to be a minor part is by literally sawing it off. And given he wants a new one to remove some telephone holes I doubt he'd be happy with a sawn off replacement
Well with shipping a new dash was going to be around £60-70 off ebay. Have decided to pay someone £90 to fix the holes. I'll post before/after pictures when I have the results!

I mean minor as in not the engine, box, etc.
A lot of people breaking cars won't bother with parts that are either cheap or a lot of work to remove, that's why I classed it as "minor".
