Welcome to the forum mate  Its a fun crazy place to be, we even have a residant clown comedian whos named after a 1970's badly written cartoon character...

Hes also phantom Magnum Ecuador snaffler....

Is it me on the wine again, or is your signature blurry? 

PS TC, whats for tea. LOL! 

New Golf all members have been slightly rebuffed for going off topic. 

So i too retro fitted my armrest and because mrs Top cat now has somewhere to keep her lipstick she cooked me my fav. lasgne followed by home cooked carrot cake

Mrs TC?

Does anyone know if it is possible to have the centre armrest retro-fitted?

My GTi doesn't have one, and although I vowed never to buy a car without one, the car I eventually found was too good and I had to compromise. I still think I'd like one though, if anything just to finish off the interior...

Yes it is... I'm sure theres a guide kicking about somewhere.
Actually - try this: http://www.dropfiles.net//files/207/Volkswagen%20Golf%20Mk%20V%20Arm%20Rest%20Retrofit%20_Compressed_.pdf

Looks like it may take a while though 

Ha ha, nice! I'm not really into DIY though!

Maybe I'll give VW a ring...

LOL NewGolf good work on the Mrs TC pic. 

Even I had a Magnum in honor of TC today, but none of this dark south american rubbish, a proper mint magnum 

Anyway back to the topic 

Does any know what the official name of the cubby hole/storage tray thing (also where the CD Changer/iPod adapter goes) that fits under the arm rest. I want to get a spare to build a dock for my iPhone 3g as the VW bluetooth kit absolutely mullers the battery

Wow!  Just makes you realise how much effort goes into designing a part like the armrest.  In my previous car (a Toyota) it was just 2 parts, the storage area and the lid!  But then it had no ventilation or cup holders.

I don't think I have ventilation inside the storage area (under the armrest) on my GTI, will have to check next time i'm in the car!

A taste of Guernsey eh? One of our local specialities! Our seas have plenty of Bass, that is until the French trawlers try to pilfer them lol!

Have to be careful we don't get told off but,

I can't get enough sea-bass at the minute, love it, tonight with chilli, garlic, ginger and spring onion, 2 morra rosemary and lemon with sea-salt

Can't beat it
