So after a rather fraught trip to IKEA last night (if you take you kids to IKEA you are a special level of horrid person..) I managed like a **** to break the air vent to the left of the radio taking a heavy box out of the car.

Basically it fell onto my phone holder and has snapped two vent blades.

Been looking around and can see a few individual vent parts but mostly it seems that you can buy the whole face plate and vents as one unit.

Has anyone change this before? is it worth just buying the whole lot as one rather than the individual vent?




Also i did have to give kudos to my vent mounted phone holder, usually they are a bit crap and fall off after a bit but this one with its hook locking system has never fallen off. Its really good if anyone is looking for a magnetic mount (just dont drop a flat pack on it :confused:)

I mean its so good it broke my car instead of just falling off..

I have a complete facelift vent assembly, the 2 vents that surround the radio, where roughly are you located?
