Nice. When my CMS gets here I may have to invest in one.....but I'll have to change it's name to Glovebox Junky since I'm not known for a very tidy glove box.
I was going to ask the exact same question. I didn't even know they existed until I uploaded the picture and was about to post it. I've been trying to think of all the cool things I could put there.
Did you know the round item on the left is an adjustable vent to heat or cool the glovebox. It is amazing what a person can learn by reading the manual . .

yes, the manual . . . I have one somewhere
So, I tested one of the lights I have here (Fenix LD15), and it fits great! It's about 17mm diameter, and 80mm long, and uses a single AA battery to power it - lots of light. Any similar sized light should work (Quark, Olight, etc), possibly up to 19mm diameter.
Will the manual case fit in either of the spaces? If so, can you upload a picture?
I took a pic of the manual in both places.

I don't recommend putting it in the top (and neither does GoMiniGo) as the manual is too big for the glovebox. In the upper position, it shifts up when you close the door and is just kind of awkward.
I have the same clips underneath the cover of the glovebox on my BMW R1200RT. They actually fit on a Mini MagLite, so save some money and pass on the BMW model.
Ok. Flashlights makes sense as something you would want to keep in a glove box.
Still it would make more sense if the clips in the MINI glove box were for a MINI flashlight. I did a quick search and came up empty on that one. I'm surprised that MINI doesn't sell a flashlight to go into their flashlight holder. Not that I'd buy one anyway.
Mini Maglite is cheap, but doesn't put out much light. Fenix LD15 or similar quality is MUCH better! I'm pretty sure that only the AAA powered Maglites would fit, so we're talking a max of about 30 lumens in an LED model (2XAAA), or 2.3 lumens in the solitaire.
