An interior essential!
Nothing major but anyone else that had bought an armrest said it ways something that should of been fitted in the factory in the first place. So I bought one as well!
Literary can be fitted in 10 minutes! Genuine Seat armrest so was a little pricey but well worth it! Certainly encourages one hand on the wheel and one hand on the gear knob and palm steering
not that I do it...

The cut outs for the cupholders over lap a tad so making a slightly smaller hole but a file should sort that.

It also comes with a soft plastic cupholder cover so you can store things in it which then means if you need a cupholder you only have one left under the stereo. Depends how often you go to Mcdonalds...

Shouldn't have to take a file to a new genuine item though mate, especially one that costs circa £140!
Having said that, I would like to get one, my arms lost without an armrest.

In general it fits perfectly, just the small over lap I noticed. But it feels good and looks great.
Do like these looks good mate,really need to save some money getting married in September so can't justify £140 plus at the moment.Would buy second hand if one comes up.
Got it off http://www.caraccessoriesplus.co.uk/product/seat-leon-armrest.html It's the cheapest price I've seen but it has £7 P&P so it's still £133
Thanks
Congratulations!
you'll have to Ebay it probably but there's so many cheap ones on there but may lack in quality

Cheers mate
don't think I'd bother with anything else as think they look a bit poor compared to the real deal.With a bit of luck one will show up for under say £80-£90 second hand.
Looks good. Armrests are a must.
Mine is just velcro'd in place at the moment as I dont want to drill into the console incase I want to sell the armrest etc. Mine is also full of crap and lottery tickets haha
Dave @ Sere is the best place for them. Sure I got mine for £123.

Think Velcro is the way forward or number plate tape unless you don't plan on ever removing it.May have to send Dave a request for a price
Custom Subwoofer and B8 Dampers
My custom build subwoofer, there's a link to how I made it in the post below.

These are the full set of Dampers, B8's, I already have H&R lowering springs fitted so these should compliment the springs, anyone questioning the ride quality after the dampers are fitted, I'll do a brief review later.

Here's a link to my custom subwoofer build thread - http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=423522
Whilst the Subwoofer was being made, I spent a day fitting Bilstein B8 dampers, although I haven't experienced any other suspension set up, I have no complaints about the springs and dampers. The combination offers a slightly harder ride, nothing you wouldn't expect from firmer suspension set up, the dampers do their job well with the lowered springs.
