Title: Armrest
Post by: Aparoon on October 13, 2009, 05:53:53 pm

Fitted a centre armrest to my car this morning, not as easy as i thought it would be but not too bad, only took about 20mins. Makes a massive difference to the interior though it looks more complete and is really handy when driving especially with dsg  :happy2:

I bought the one that was designed to house the 6cd changer but didnt buy that with it as i didnt need it, does anybody know the part number for the insert that fills the void where the changer was? Think the parts person at vw found it on their system found it but want to check before lashing money out as its non refundable...

Out of interest, where did you buy the armrest from and how much did it cost?
