There is a USA version but very expensive! And hard to get hold of.

I've got one in mine, I'd say it was more of a tall lidded cubby hole rather than a proper armrest. Still loads better than the standard one though, especially since it can be locked, has a boot release button and a cool pop out drinks holder in the rear.

I had one when I used to have a Mk3! :cool: They use to come up on eBay about one every 6months, n I managed to snap one up for around £80 IIRC?! :undecided:
They are awesome, n stupidly rare!!! I sold it when I scrapped my Mk3, n got about £110 for it! Having said that, it's only as valuable as the price someone is prepared to pay for it!

Here's a couple pics...

I'm about to have a spare one of these for sale if anyone is interested in making me a decent offer before it goes on eBay?
