Hi everyone quick question.

Does the Mk1 Octavia vrs have a centre drivers arm rest as standard? Looked at an 05 car today and it did not have one.

Cheers Jim

I thought that the ebay ones fell to pieces due to them being poor quality? You must have got a good 'un then.

Simple answer .......no

Actually yes - depending on the model, the Elegance does

hang on, an 05 model........ that will be a MKII then ?

Oops i missed the vrs bit! (hence the Elegance reference)

It must be an option though as i have seen a couple with them fitted from new (at the dealers)

Yeah it's an option, and an easy one to retro fit as well... just expensive thats all.

Yes they are a very expensive option about £300 iirc :eek:

For some reason, dealers seem to tell people thst they need a new central console when fitting an arm rest - which bumps the cost up. It's total rubbish. The only difference is the rear ash tray which can be purchased seperately.

yup I was sold a load of bit's I didn't need... including the central console :mad:

in holland armrests are standard on the RS. front and back

yeh they are dead expensive to retro fit. a gran total of 36 quid for mine

I doubt your's is OEM then.
