Hi everyone.

My Octavia is a "55 plate" (June '05 production) and came without the Jumbo box and armrest.

To install it, I need to buy the jumbo box/armrest (obviously) aswell as the centre console, due to changes in the floorplan in May '06 (according to Skoda) at approx £600.

A car breakers sales talk is adamant, these parts from an '05 or '06 plate Octavia will fit regardless.

I would appreciate advice from anyone who has had the same idea and experience.

Thanks for the advice.

I now know what to do.

Thanks again

A Yeti from 2010 also has the almost identical part numbers and fits a pre-FL or FL Octavia as well.

There is one on eBay (has been on there for about 15 days now) but is overpriced considering it lacks the rear vents and the air ducts (but does have a silver gear stick surround and leather armrest cover). It is new though, so that justifies the slightly higher price.

See my sig for a guide.
