Armrest retrofit

Post by Nightingale95 »

Hi guys.

Could anyone tell me where I can get a genuine polo gti armrest and how much? Also are they universal between more than just polo's or are they specific for the polo only?

Thanks
Jake

I'm really interested in this too, but the link is for a 6R Polo - I have a 2016 6c... will it fit?

These OEM arm rests.... are they any good? I'm considering this one or the Aliexpress (?) one - which is best?

Have you compared the Ali Express with a genuine one side by side - are they really the same?
