I admire your honesty and law abiding citizenship but my fear is that the police may go all CSI on your Landy and you might end up with a shedload of paperwork/interviews etc. How do they know you haven't got an illegal firearm etc. etc.

Got any pics of the bullets??

I built my own cubby box since I live in New Zealand and shipping from the UK is expensive. I covered it with black vinyl and then added some aluminium angle on the edges. It is a slightly fussy job - I made cardboard templates for the vinyl to get the right shape. See the thread below:

Are they live bullets, or just the brass cases, stick a piccy up, someone will soon tell you exactly what they are

If they're live rounds with bullets in the cases, just hand them in at your local gunshop. Explain how you came to have them and they'll be fine about it. No need to involve the police at all.

Unfortunately you've made the mistake of mentioning bullets in your question; you can see from the posts above what happens if you do that...

Don't expect too many answers relating to your cubby box question

On the subject of cubby boxes, the lid on mine was all worn with holes in it. I bought some hard wearing black vinyl from an upholsterer on ebay and some spray glue and got to it. I also bought some upholstery foam, bout half an inch thick to go underneath. Turned out real good. If I can find a photo I will post it tonight or tomorrow.
