mk4 armrest question
« on: 12 March 2012, 09:09 »
Just wondering how easy (if possible at all) it is to fit an aftermarket armrest to a mk4 which doesnt actually have one factory fitted?

Thanks

cool, im assuming i would need to make the holes myself? would it also require me to remove the rear cup-holder and ashtray?

i think the holes are allready thre for 'retro fitting' then they was just added in as a optional extra when they was 1st made!

yeah u take it out, but the rear ash tray goes back in, its just the little square bit between the handbrake and ash tray you loose from memory.
