I've got one in mine, I'd say it was more of a tall lidded cubby hole rather than a proper armrest. Still loads better than the standard one though, especially since it can be locked, has a boot release button and a cool pop out drinks holder in the rear.

They are awesome, n stupidly rare!!! I sold it when I scrapped my Mk3, n got about £110 for it! Having said that, it's only as valuable as the price someone is prepared to pay for it!

Here's a couple pics...
