Title: Armrest - What else do I need?!
Post by: GTTDiJoe on August 12, 2013, 09:37:20 am
Morning chaps,

Managed to bag myself an armrest....

Well, when I say Armrest, I mean the bare metal frame and lid bit where your arm actually rests. :happy2:

What else would I need to retrofit it to my car?

Part numbers would be ace, prices even better!

Curious to know, is it the frame that's the expensive part (going from eBay prices) or is it the plastics that are the expensive part?

Any help is appreciated!

You need the outer cover and the back cover, maybe the handbrake roller if its not attached to the frame what you've already got. Pics would be good to know exactly.

Going from that and the photo pitsirikas posted, I need:-
Outer Cover
Back Cover
Cup Holder thingy?
Handbrake roller?
Air piping
Screw pack?

Is it better to go dealer for these bits, or is there anywhere online to get them?  :party:

You won't want to go to the dealer as the cost will be lore than just buying a whole armrest from eBay

For example - the outer cover is £30 plus, rear plastic part with vents (which are normally a separate part - 1k0 819 203 I believe) will set you back more than £50. Cupholder is two parts, £40 for the Cupholder and £10 for the plastic trim that goes on it. If you search the forum under the part number above you will find the others on another thread.

Oh and check out ebay.de - try mittelarmlehne and you may find the parts

I'm sure I saw a rear Cupholder on eBay a few days back

I have the rear airvents too, in the for sale section so if you get the back piece you are getting there with demons bits
