Armrest/Centre console
« on: 06 April 2009, 20:50 »
Hey im looking to fit a armrest in my golf seen some universal jobies around but unsure about the function/fitting of them. Does anyone have an armrest in their Mk3  :huh:.
Post up some pics please. Thanks  :smiley:

The universal jobies are not pretty. Try and get hold of a US vento (or jetta as they call them) center console which has a lockable cubby hole with lid/arm rest, rear cup holder and ashtray and a button for opening the boot.

doesnt look too bad, prefer the jetta idea though, saw a thread on here the other day where they had put in both the front and rear seats from one and that gives you a arm rest in the front and the back looked really  :cool: ill try and find the thread and post it up on here!

how easy is it to fit one of those armrests from ebay (just out of interest  :wink: as it will be a lot cheaper than buying all new seats!!!)

What does that E38 one look like?

Gone off the ebay one as its static, the US ones raise up!

So gonna keep searching!
