lets us know what you find , good luck getting the glove box out about 12 screws to release it  ::)
 And a load more to take the lid apart just to push the tiny pin back into its hole  ::)

My Citroen has one and it is a decent sie too, can get a few bottles of juice and chocolate bars in it and it does get very cold. :P :P :P

That sounds good Mike!   Trust the French ah!  I bet the latest Japanesse exec. cars have them as well!

Your comment has made me fink of perhaps installing a 'mini bar' into the back of the miggy........you know like Rolls Royces / Bentley's have!!

Fitted to A/C equipped preminifacelift cars, dropped minifacelift onwards.


Thanks TB :y, but can you fit such a glove box from a scrapper on a facelift? :-/ :-/
guess so.  Not sure where you would pick up the chilled air from though

The small gloveboxes on later omega's wouldnt be because of he passenger airbag fitted would it?  :-/

I can only think that if your gonna fit a prefacelift glovebox.....you might have to loose the airbag  :-/
all omegas, except base prefacelifts, have passenger bag....

True, My GLS has a second glove box where the air bag is.  Not massive but am allready missing the space on my Elite.

I use that for Casette tapes :-[ well I believe in keping the car original, none of these new fangled cd thingies..... ;D ;D ;D

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

It could be worse; a 1970 / 80s Renault.  Once helped a male friend do his exhaust pipe that was wrapped all around the engine and designed that way!! We had to cut each section away from the engine, then fit the new one back in reverse order!  Bloody nightmare! ;D ;D ;)

Sorry I'm digressing. ;D
