Hi
The armrest kit would be £95.00 inc vat,discount and postage, the armrest takes around 15 mins to fit as it bolts to the seat rail bolts either side of the centre console and it has a storage
compartment in the top
Cheers
Chris

Chris,

Do you know if it will fit okay with recaro seats fitted? And am i right in thinking that the top is black?

Chris,
On a similar question.
What would be the cost R53 armrest for the face lifted version of the car. ( arm rest changed on at the with the facelift )

Can you include the central console also as I would want to fit the new arm rest to a non facelifted car. ( 2003 plate car ).

Thanks

Hi
The second option for the armrest would be the same sytle as the factory fitted kit which includes a new centre console,the armrest is available with a silver or anthracite top edge and has a sliding cover on top this kit would be £140.00 inc vat,disount and postage
Cheers

Any chance someone could post pics of the two styles of armrest - i.e. facelift version and pre facelift? Do both versions work with the JCW seats? Cheers.

Hi
Fitting takes around 30 mins, you should be okay is you have a torx socket for the rail bolts
we would charge £43.00 to fit if needed
