Screw cap

Post by ZetaTre » Thu Apr 17, 2008 7:18 pm

This thing is driving me nuts, cuz it's so stupid I can't belive it!!!!
The two side air vents are missing the screw caps on the upper outside corner and behind the cup holder. So I checked out RealOEM and order them Grey, as my dashboard. Turned out they are too light (the parts dept had the same part #) so I switched them for the black, which is too dark. Doe any of you had them replaced? which part number did you order? Does it match the color of the dashboard?
Could someone with the grey dashboard check for me and make sure that the screw cap indead matches the dashboard color?
I tould you it was a stupid topic... But it's really driving me nuts!!! :x :x :x

I am yes, nice link!

Seems weird that they don't match, I had black interior and they used to look OK, have you got red seats with grey interior? Go find a used car for sale with the matching interior and steal those instead :D

Yea, red seats and grey intrior. Problem is these suckers get damaged when you remove them: we picked up the car 3 weeks ago and noticed 3 of them were missing and one was all chewed up...
Anyway, I order a differnet one for an E39 (5 series from 1995 to 2004) and it will be in on Monday. Hopefully it'll match. I'll keep you posted.
