As an dealer option its £110

To purchase retail and retro fit is not possible. Just the top arm piece is nearly £180 and theres about another 10 - 15 items needed from the screen he showed me.

Its ebay with a bolt on kit or make do .

Steve.

I may look into a aftermarket one.
You're right, it's bloody expensive to buy all the parts separately as spare parts from the stealer. Ebay is your best bet, I got mine from ebay for 190 euros. It was a package containing all the OEM parts you need to retrofit the center arm rest. The parts were stripped from crash test cars, only driven a few kilometers and in excellent condition, basically new. No need to install a fugly squeaking aftermarket armrest.
hi. i know this is a old thread but you don't happen to have the Spanish eBay members user name do you ? if he gets his hands on crash test cars then maybe he has quite a few things to sell.
cheers

For dealer only parts , try TPS Trade Part Specialists, they're VAG specialist all they do are genuine parts as well cheaper then the dealer. Depending where you are in Manchester I can see if i can use my trade discount to get it cheaper still.

Sorry, couldn't find the seller in my eBay history any longer. Must've removed his account or something.
