Interior bits and bobs

[miasma]

Hey guys - thanks to your replies in my last topic, I've taken the plunge and have bought a fantastic 57 plate Black GTi (replacement for my Alfa Romeo GT Blackline). After living with it for a couple of days, I think I'm missing one or two things.

Most noticeably the arm rest pocket is 'empty' (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1479561/armrest.jpg) should there be some sort of lining or anything else in here ?

At the back of the central console I have what looks like a carbon fibre patch (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1479561/console.jpg), again looks like something is missing from here - maybe a panel ?

Thanks for any help - and sorry for the rubbish photo's.

To be honest from your picture it looks as though that has been played about with.

I my GTI I have a cup holder that pulls out. Something like this:

I cant remember whether the arm rest pocket is meant to have anything else in tbh

Hope this helps

Thanks Wuker - I'll have a proper look after work. It would make sense to have a cup holder there

There should be a little liner at the bottom of the arm rest pocket. It's a dimpled rubbery tray shaped liner.
At the back of that console there should be either a storage pocket that opens or a cup holder that folds out. I forget which and don't have it on my mk5 so I can't check.
Hope that helps

In the real console there should be a twin cup holder that folds out from behind a drop down panel. Wuker has identified the exact one from ebay.
 Looks to me like this has been removed, possibly due to damage, and the resulting 'gap' covered with that cheap looking carbon fibre stuff.
