greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 One of the really annoying things when I bought the car was that it didn't have the center armrest. Now, this is one thing that really improves the interior IMO. And one thing that was at the top of my list of things to do. So... The search began for a seemingly impossible job of finding a mint condition unit. Pm'd a few members on here, but no luck. Kept an eye on trade me and again no luck. So I finally bit the bullet and when down to Parts Connection - European Autospares in Manukau to see what they had. And what do you know... They had a mint complete unit. At a very reasonable price. The next weekend it was installed and it completely transformed how the interior felt. Before: After: It was not hard to install and very straight forward. I highly recommend this mod, its well worth it and truly makes a huge difference! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westy 614 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 Wow!! A lot of people dont have armrests! It can get in the way of the gearchange when giving it stick tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjay 8 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 I dont have one Is there a cup holder inside? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 No. The cup holders fit in the dish that the arm rest covers with a cup one in front of the other(beside the hand brake). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
