Taken from an E46 maybe?

Spot on. Was grey leather and secured by two B and Q brackets and self tappers to the sides of the centre consul. Seats went forward, brackets fitted, seats came back so all fittings hidden. Brackets were brown so sprayed matt black as were any other items such as self tapper heads.

Looks great! I'd be very interested in the fixings if you could get a photo.

Thanks

Will do on Friday for you. I got them from a B and Q store. They are L shaped, brown and about 4 cms wide. The smaller part of the bracket screwed into the underside of the arm rest (one each side) and the longer part into the centre console with two self tappers each side. If you do pop into a B and Q the brackets are where they sell metal flats and the like.
