anyone know where I can find myself a nice centre arm rest console to match my grey/charcoal recaros? The cheapest one I can find is £130

look on Ebay for people selling 2nd hand ones - make sure they are genuine though - avoid the copies at all costs!

had a look all i could find were nasty leather ones  :sad:

That doesn't include the fixing bracket or bolts.

Indeed, it does look a goodf armrest though.  you coudl either get that, and try to source the mounting bracket etc from VW.  Or hold out until you spot an auction for the entire package.

I quite like the look of something like that, but from what I can tell it involves having a big box on your dash.  That'd really annoy me.
