Default Where can I source a replacement pocket arm rest?

My drivers side pocket arm just collapsed. Looks like the plastic snapped. I've looked on ebay a couple times but I only see replacements in black or grey. I have a Metropol Blue interior. Anyone know of used parts source? Thanks!

I have one in the garage (basically an entire metropol blue interior). Send me your email in a private message and I’ll shoot you some pictures.

Now that you mention it , it does shade more black but i don't think black is right. I'm trying to attach a picture. Let's see if it worked.

Check the code on the sticker under the hood. My MY2002 code AA is black. My originally Metropol blue MY2000 is code EF. It is the two digit code after the paint code.

Sorry, took a minute to find a photo of code sticker. (Car is in the desert) Interior code is ET. From a bit of research it looks like there might be two Metropol Blue code?

Still looking for a Metropol Blue Left door pocket lid cover. Anyone have a lead? Ebay not coming through with anything. Thanks!

I have the metropol blue cover, but I reused the other parts.

Thanks but I think I need it with working hardware. A piece of mine cracked which is why it's not working.

The cover just screws onto the base with about 10 small screws. Take your cover off and make sure the base is what is actually broken. Check out the dismantlers They have cars coming in all the time.

eBay will probably be a good bet too - unfortunately I think the mechanism is different to a boxster which is a shame!
