How many people have arm rests? How much are they from seat and is anyone using a universal one?

Pics of them would be nice too.

Thanks
 
I'm not trolling but why on earth are they so expensive ?? I could understand £35-£40 but over £100 seems a little mad !
 
Stupid money, there are some nice looking ones for 20quid on eBay just don't know if anyone has tried to fit one before.

I'm missing my armrest from my Leon
 
Hiya,
I bought one off ebay from tradepartsexpress, and as you are already aware they're not cheap. The best thing is that they're genuine Seat parts and look the business once fitted. It took about 40 mins to fit and its made my car much more comfy.
The only bad thing was I had to cut a hole in the base of the cupholder for the bracket but once it's fitted I suppose it's there to stay so no big deal unless you intend to remove it at a later date.
The colour match is perfect and there's much more stowage plus they do adjust up or down and can be tilted out of the way, a bit of a pain if you want to use the handbrake a lot but my DSG has park so I rarely bother with mine.
Basically buy a genuine one and you can't go wrong.
 
I brought the seat one off car accessories plus for 130 t looks the bees.....fitting it was so easy it took me about 20 mind as for cutting the cup holder I sourced an ibiza that was being broken and took the cup holder off that so if I ever want to change it back I have the original part......and your right ibiza mk5 cupra db it's so comfortable I would definitely recommend
 
Hi Nick2bates, that was a good buy and it looks like it fits in the same manner. Enjoy letting your arm chill instead of trying to find a comfortable position lol.
 
Hiya DB, It fits really well in my Cupra. And so much cheaper that Seats one. Great when your on the Motorway
