Armrest

[SiPrince]

Hello

I'll soon be getting my Leon. Just wondered if there was an armrest available for it. In my Yaris I had an aftermarket one that slotted into the cup holder at the side of me. Is there a similar thing available?

Cheers

See here available from all Stealers in exchange for £100

Thanks very much. Does this mean that I loose the cup holders though?

You don't lose the cupholders as such, its just that they're now under the armrest with the lid on top (under the small rubber mat shown in the link above), so pretty much unusable as cup holders anymore and just storage cubby holes instead. You've still got the 2 front cupholders though, so not a major problem imo...
Do a search as there are probably quite a few threads on here with photos showing how it fits and looks.
It also had the effect of straightening the way I was sitting as both elbows are supported evenly when cruising, making motorway driving more relaxed...
I think the armrest is an essential purchase that Seat should should really be fitting as standard kit, at least on the higher spec models...

I had an armrest fitted to mine and its brilliant. Yes it should infact be standard

Two front cupholders?

Have I missed one in my car!?

I've got a spare one you can have..

Oops......why did I think there were 2...

And I was starting to think 4 cupholders were a bit of an overkill

Thanks for the reply guys. At least one good thing is that the armrest comes in black leather as standard, had a look at some pictures today after I got hold of the part number, and they look rather nice when they are installed.

I have an armrest in my MKII Leon which will be surplus to requirements shortly....

Might possibly give it a new home then?
