Hi all
I had always found the depth of the armrest storage box a pain - things dropped right to the bottom when I needed them.
This tray on Ebay is great for less than £9, it is a perfect fit to slot into the top of the cubby hole, letting me put things I use a lot in it, and still having space below for things I don't need so much.
I'm really pleased with it so i thought I'd mention it. It took about a week to come from Hong Kong.

No thanks, that's where I keep my secret bag of sweets

People have been buying these since 2013 when the mk7 came out. :whistle:

That is pretty cool tbh.
Although this one is under a fiver without the fancy colour mat:

Looks much better. The one in the OP looks tacky

That second one says not suitable for GTI but that doesn't make any sense does it!?

Yeah I saw that but unsure why. The central console cubby would be the same wouldn’t it.

Nope! Ordered anyway! 😊

Yeah it seems to, not sure the armrest goes down quite as much as it used to but it's not bothering me. Certainly happy with the fiver spend.

As above. It’s fine. Little rubber mats are not exactly OEM, but hey, £5!

Just ordered the £5 job. Will report back.

It just finally arrived yesterday and yes, it fits perfectly from what I can tell so far. It will only go in one way (which is probably obvious).
Only thing I'd say is that the large rubber mat is slightly too big for the plastic tray in which it sits, so it sort of creases up at the sides. No big deal, especially for the price.

Hopefully gives a better idea of how it fits etc.

Cheers for the photos. Ordered one, seems a good bit of kit from the photos

Mine came with the corner broken off, but for the price and a bit of superglue, i'm happy. :)
