Managed to do the sunglasses holder :) - although I had to unscrew some black device and when I opened up the new one there was no where for me to screw it back in?? Is this normal?

I got my wind deflectors too, not sure if they'll look good lol

  • Ok looks good so is there any drilling required and do you lose the rear cup holder?

  • Wind deflectors. LED bulbs in the interior lights Arm rest Sunglasses holder And brisky stickers of course Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  • There isnt a more solid armrest than the oem. The oem uses the threads in the floor of the car, so its solid.    No aftermarkets known on any threads i've seen have been as good tbh.

The alarm motion sensor? Usually just clips in?

Yeah, I heard that it just clips in but there are no clips with the sunglasses holder?? So I had to lay it on top where the holes are.

Maybe I have the wrong one or faulty??

Yeah! it just unclips (and breaks your thumb nail) and clips into the new one!!!

I was under pressure then. I kinda unscrew the black sensor from the black base hence I couldn't see a clip. I screwed it back in. Although I messed up. Broke the clips so I think I need to order a new one as its really loose and will probably fall from the roof if I go over a bump.

But yeah, broke the clips, messed up the device with the wires that were in the wire holders /clips..

I've also bought the same sunglasses holder as yours and wind deflectors haha. So with the black sensor, it should just unclip then straight into the new one?!

Yup! I've just brought another one haha! Least I now know lol

Black is the right colour for mine! Remember a few days ago when I said the dealers were saying pearl grey is the right colour, it's not. The current blank panel is bloody black. Maybe because I have black pack on my car? Its been dispatched today- the same seller as yours.

Now also waiting for wind deflectors, armrest and about 10 led bulbs haha

So after breaking my first sunglasses holder, my second arrived today and using the images kindly provided above, I managed with success! It's pretty good, just don't do what I did haha!

 

I did a google on the pearl grey and it came up and I was like yeah.. definitely not that, it's the black onyx one, looking at the image I wasn't convinced but when it arrived at first it definitelywas.

Can't wait to get it. Going to take things very slow when fitting...haha

Changed interior lights to LEDS this evening. Massive improvement. Having problems fitting the boot light though. I've never had a problem with it previously but after taking it out it now keeps losing the connection and cutting off. Worried that it might be a problem with the wires. I've ended up having to keep original bulb because two of the new LEDS are faulty :-(

Number plate LEDS also fitted :-)

Maybe just a dodgey connection. Only some flat leds fit in the boot one. Also seems to blow fuses easily whilst fitting

When you say it keeps cutting off, how long before it cuts off because it does have an auto power off function after about 3 minutes.

Yea you might be right. I did disconnect the power before removing, just incase haha. As far as I know they should be the right LEDs for the boot. Seems to be a snug fit but nothing! I've tried them in the interior lights too and they aren't working in there either :-(

It was before I put the unit back into the boot- when it was dangling. Whenever it moved, it cut off, but now seems to stay on when it's still so will hopefully be ok :-)

Sunglasses holder fitted! Was a bit of a pain changing over the alarm sensor but managed it. Very happy worth it. Received my Armrest today, so going to try and fit it tomorrow. Only took two days to arrive from Germany! Awesome

personally I'm happy with it, its probably not as sturdy (it's sturdy enough) as the OEM but then again its a lot cheaper, it looks stock, and does the job ,or the £30 delivered that I paid you really cant fault it

Hey. Playing with the armrest now! Think I've set it up right. Am I right in thinking that you can just lift the armrest out (whole) from the cup holder once it's been put together? I've used 4 screws and the big screw. Is that right? Cause there's 12 little screws in total. :-)

Nope you use 4 screw to attach the base of the armrest to the rear cup holder, just remove the little round mat from the rear cupholder, then 4 self tapers through the base of the armrest into the rear cup holder, once this is done the arm rest will not lift out.

Right silly me. You have to actually screw the bigger part of the base into the rear cup holder and tray don't you?

Excellent cheers :-)

Very happy with it. At the moment, it's the fabric one but they've also sent faux leather lid, so I can change them over if I want to. I Quite like the fabric one. Absolute steal for the money. Added comfort and think it improves the look of the cabin

To be honest really happy with mine looks very oem and give some extra storage, not the sturdiest but can rest an arm on it and for £30 well worth it, glad you sorted it ;-)

Fitted the heko wind deflectors. Happy with them. A nice look imo. First couple of attempts at closing the Windows, they kept coming down but held close button for few seconds when finally got them up and they stayed up.

I left them up for around half and a half before opening. No problems up to now!
