Anyone have any decent pics of the Leon armrest fitted? Here is a link:

Havent got a pic at the minute.

But yes i have one in mine and is DEFINATELY worthwhile. Makes the interior look a whole lot better as you lose a lot of the hard plastic. Can be opened and is enough room for sunglasses mobile etc in top section. below that is a rubber mat, if you take this out you still have the original cup holders, not much use as cup holders now but can be used as an extra cubby.

Here's a few pics of the armrest fitted to my leon. Hope this helps.

As Rob66 has said very useful and generally a nice addition to the interior, also seems to be in a good position.

guys, did you fit this yourselves or dealer fit? as i was going to get one from my local parts but they advise 1hr & 30 to fit possibly, I think they are clutching at straws, as they had no idea how to fit the h/comb grill kit either, and wanted £24 to fit that, so if its easy for the armrest i will try myself. as will persivere with the g/kit also!

I got mine fitted as part of the deal when I got the car, but I seem to think that it just sits on the existing console and 4 self tapping screws need to be screwed in, think someone has done a write up on fitting it, might be worth a search.

Hi All

Got one for crimbo. It only takes 15 minutes to fit (5 Screws) It's the sticky black bit in the bottom that fiddly to get in the correct place. All in all about 30 mins tops.

has anyone fitted the armrest with the Aux attachment the reason for asking is i have it it sits above the door lock switch and from the pics looks as if it would cover it.

Does anyone else think £100 is a bit excessive for something the car should have been fitted with as standard??

 

[k4ith]

no i think its ok when you compare the price to a VW or Audi armrest option which can be much higher.

Hey guys
Was thinking about getting one, does it interfere with access to the handbreak?
Is it hinged so it can be completly lifted out of the way?

Cheers

I'd love to see a pic of the aux-in compatible armrest...
Also does it match the fabric in the FR? (The others look rather light in colour)

 

[Jace]

A must have IMO

I have one in my golf & feel lost when driving any other car without one, one will be fitted in the FR, thats for sure

What colour is this armrest, in the photos it looks two tone grey which would go nicely with the stylance interior but I hear mention of red stitching, is there different colours?
