My 1.6 16v Project

[D1SHABBA]

ordered a armrest from ebay.

first problem was no bolts or speed nut with it, so a trip to local VW garage to order these

picked these up from the VW garage

absolute nightmare trying to cut the right size hole out as i could not be bothered in removing the console.

found out the hole was still too small then carried on cutting till finally i got to this

Please note i did not remove the console out at all just worked around it which is why it was a right pain. I put the speed nuts in and finally gt the bracket in place

Here is the armrest fully installed. Happy with the end result and well worth it.

Got a part number for these mate? Just the nuts and bolts as my golf armrest is badly badged lol, been asking everywhere. How much we're they too? Cheers

N 903 285 02 hexagon head bolt shoulder (x2)

N 903 010 01 snap nut (x2)

1JO 711 354 adapter (x1)

N 015 083 11 hexagon nut shouldered (x1)

Total is about £12

Some part numbers may have changed, if so the garage will know the new ones cus he did for me....

Hope this helps....

I think it all looks really good so far.

As long as you don't go sticking "Cupra R" badges on it you won't get any disrespect from me.
