Thanks

Accidently kicked it getting out?

Easily done unfortunately.

If it's like others you should be able to gently lever it off with a blunt tool working round the edges.

I got the arm rest straight from Audi... there might be one for sale in the classified section, but that was a while ago now.

Its was about €70 from Audi

Speaker grille unfortunately need door trim panel off which has some hidden screws and some bastard clips - search for any B6/B7 door trim panel removal.

To replace armrest lid, you have to get the old one out by squeezing the rear hinges together, don't have to be too careful with the old one but observe how it mounts so you can work out how to put new one.

The catch on my lid lid has broken aswell, did you source just the lid by itself or the whole unit?

Had the same problem - You can get just the top lid part.I too was dreading the possibility of having to purchase entire unit. I got it for about £65. Easy to fit
