Under E-brake cubby

Does anybody know if they make a cubby that goes under the ebrake in the center console of the R56. I have the one that goes under the toggle switches and I think I have seen one under the ebrake but I can't find one anywhere, HELP!!!!!

I just glued some Benchmate non-slip pad material under there.

Thought about that too. Want something a little more oem looking and I don't want to glue anything to my car.

This is what I use. Probably not putting where it should be, but it looks pretty nice anyways:

http://www.amazon.com/MINI-Cooper-Ce...6307179&sr=8-3

All I know is that if definitely doesn't fit in the armrest!

BTW you can see it partly in the interior shot in my gallery. And it does match the center console tray in looks, they pair up pretty good..

That looks good. I think that will do. I am pretty sure at one time or another, there was one specifically for that, but I can't find it now.

My iPod 5G sits there in mine, perfectly. It takes up the whole width underneath the eBrake handle I got from Robin Casady, leaving no room for anything else.

I've got a Rubber one with Identical 'Bumps' as the Under Toggle Cubby, I just can't remember where I got it from...I'll try and find out.

That looks like the one on Amazon. That's the one I'm going for I think.

That bigger piece does not go under the e-brake it goes in the arm rest. If you are using a cradle for a phone you will not be able to use it.

I think they are saying that it does fit under the ebrake even though it's not specifically made for it. So far, seems to be the best option. Does anybody have a good pic of it in their car.

They made one for the R50 & R53. When I ordered my boot box one came with it. It took some researching to figure what it was. I gave it away as it was no use at all on an R56.

Sorry, I thought the Interior pic. in "My Garage" would show it, but it does not.

I swear I saw a specific rubber cubby for that. I'll try to find a link. Maybe it was for my first gen but I'll look.
