Did a mk1 leon come with a centre arm rest?

I had one in my old bmw and my winter runaround vectra has one and I want one for the leon!

Any pics of one fitted and where to get one from? Seen some on ebay but think theyre universal

Any help is good help

Cheers :)

you should be able to get them from seat or ebay as you said. My cupra came with the arm rest factory fitted so i guess seat sell them.

I asked someone breaking a LCR on ebay for one and he said he had one for £50 delivered.............. :-o
Just ask around and i'm sure you will get hold of one. They may have been an optional extra when the cars were new.
I've also heard they get in the way of the handbrake but i think i could live with that....;)

They where an option and are quite expensive new,(£100+) they do come close to the hand brake but you get used to it, second hand you should be paying about between £35 and £60.

Here's a pic of an interior with the armrest (shamelessly stolen from Google images)

As Greck said, it does come over the handbrake a fair bit but you do just get used to it. And you can move it vertical out the way if you want to.

I bought one from a toledo £20 from scrap yard and re trimmed it and fitted in about 1 hour as i had to make adjustments to the fitting as toledo is slightly different ! Little bit of welding and a nut later :p

Really? I've always been under the impression the interior is pretty much identical?

I was under the same impression, But there is 3 feet that it sits on. The front one on the left hand side goes onto a threaded piece of bar that is part of the floor. The toledo feet sit higher up so the bar that is in the floor isnt long enough meaning it wouldnt site straight! So i welded a piece of threaded bar onto a nut and tightened the nut onto the threaded bar that is in the floor. Was very impressed with myself actually :D

nothing special lol

I've got the same ones, got them off a member on here with a LC, said they were a £1000+ option when new, everyone seems to think they're from a golf gti though, but they're a different cloth
