Has anyone seen a solution for a centre front armrest.

There are a few generic ones that use a cup slot that might work, but wondered if there was a better solution.

It's not cheap, but - in my opinion - it's worth having, I enjoy mine.

I was happy with Jan's model. Not quite as expensive as OEM and not as nice looking but without the installation hassle of cutting seats etc. and perfectly comfortable for driving. He provided free upgrade instructions for superior console clips some months later if you knew someone with a 3d printer. I put some leds under mine powered from the rear usb.

^^ I contacted that guy two times, he never answered.

The oem part is too much money, and you need to cut the seat cover is a no go for me.

I cheaped out, bought two arm rest cushions (I ordered one brown and one black) at Ali Express for less than 10 bucks and call it a day. I throw a small towel for hot days on it.
Please don´t judge me :( :mrgreen:

I'd love that OEM item, it looks perfect but it's a bit pricey. I'm going to try out something like this first

Maybe with some heavy velcro to just keep it aligned.

Bit weird the armrest wasn't standard fit, can't complain, everything else in the known universe was.

Those seats are really nice. Are they US only? Did we just get tweed to go with our tweed jackets?

my opinion: for me, these would not work because now, without an armrest, it is not easy to find the lock for the safety belt. With these things there is even less space. I would not like to deal with that on a daily basis.
