I don't know why they make this an optional extra - in my mind its a necessity

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  :shocked:
