ARM REST ADVICE{update}
« on: 18 March 2009, 11:28 »
ive just bought a arm rest off ebay, it says its a replica of the original volkswagen one, which to be honest it did arrive today and does look the part.

are there any step by steps on how to fit an arm rest id guess the set up would be the same on most aftermarket arm rests or genuine ones. i have tried to use the search but had no luck.

thanks peeps

jake :smiley:

the arm rest arrived on friday, as i mentioned in the thread, was a replica of the original, really looks good, i fitted it yesterday and only took half an hour, os thought id let people know if your warey about buying the replica ones dont be, they look brilliant and work just as well, and will save you alot of money

this is the same company that i got it from, this is the leather version though, but they will defo have more of the black cloth ones.

in regards to sticking to genuine parts, for something like an arm rest i would much rather pay half the price than pay over a 120 quid

for something to rest your arm on! i agree genuine parts for engine etc, but no need to bust the bank on this type of mod, unless your

arm is made of gold and you think it should be supported on something expensive :grin: :grin: :grin:
