Title: Armrest info
Post by: Reesy23 on May 11, 2017, 07:14:20 pm

Firstly apologies, I know there are loads of how to's available (I'll find one once the armrest arrives) but I wanted to confirm whether you have to run the centre console with the sliding cover over the cup holder or if I can keep the one the car already has?

Thanks in advance

Morning, when I sourced my armrest I kept my standard centre console with 2 cup holders as I'm not keen on the sliding cover. It went in fine but left a very small gap where it sits over the centre console (flush fit down the sides) what you'd only ever notice if you really looked for it. Can post a pic if needed  :happy2:

Thanks for getting back to me! A picture would be good if you can
