As title says, looking for a decent after market arm rest, think £140 is way too much for oem, anyone fitted one they could recommend?

Doesn't look too bad and its very cheap, but wish someone had tried it and could tell me more about the quality, I don't one that would creek and feel crappy, I want a sturdy one
I've just paid £135 delivered in rapid time by David @ Seres and would recommend it without hesitation, however, I had serious reservations regarding an after market jobbie:
1. Dubious quality, you don't know what your getting till it's too late, they could be good but they are cheap for a reason.
2. Will without doubt block the handbrake.
3. Will block the cup holders
4. Will always look as if it were an after thought IMO.
Seriously fellas, go with an oem, you won't be disappointed.

It wont obscure at all. The buttons are:
1) open/ lock doors
2) traction control, ESP
3) electric door mirror controls
Bought this one from eBay as seller agreed to refund me minus postage costs if I didn't find it perfect

Just wanted to say that it fitted really easily and feels very good, it has been specially made to fit the mk2 leon, so the bit that clips onto the car has been moulded to the perfect shape to fit it. It does the job for me perfectly, when driving locally I just lift it up and don't use it (as I need to change gears) and on the motorway I tilt it down and use it and its great, for those of you who want a decent armrest but don't want to pay 130 odd quid, I recommend this one
Here is a picture of it fitted

Couldn't tell you how it would compare against oem mate, but it's definitely good. And yes you can get to 1 cup holder if the armrest if tilted away

Picture as requested.
Not the best picture either...
is there storage in the armrest?
and by the looks you lost the two further cupholders
Yes there is storage in the armrest. It comes with a tray that goes over the cupholders to be used as iPod/Phone holder along with a coin tray - if you lift that out, your cup holders are still there!
