You're probably talking about the part which I called "Technic Liftarm
2x4 L-Shape" in LDraw:

This part appeared in the "connectable" Technic sets earlier this year.
The 8444 Helicopter set has two of them in blue. They are very useful,
and I think I would like to have some more of them.
The decorative parts you talked about are probably taken from the Slizer
/ Throw-Bots series. The front light cluster holders and headrests from
8446 are really a Slizer feet. Further, the long decorative part on the
side is used as a wing (among other things) on some of the Slizers. And
the grabber is composed out of two Slizer heads.
I kinda like the new Slizer parts, although I admit that I haven't
really got around to using them too much yet. But I like to see Technic
parts which are decorative as well.

wheels in different styles. But right now, I'm trying to avoid too many
of them.
With six of the large wheels from 8446, one can make a robotic platform,
as discussed by Leo Dorst on this page:

| (...) True, that is the part I'm talking about. I don't have any of the connectable sets. There is another part in 8446 which I didn't see before, but which I suspect to be in the connectable sets. It's kinda like two friction pegs side by side, and (...) (25 years ago, 1-Oct-99, to lugnet.technic)
