Armrest with manual handbrake - Grazza - 2:nd-Sep-2014
Hi all,
Is there a genuine VX armrest that can be fitted with a manual handbrake?
Make life so much more comfortable when eating up those motorway miles.
Thanks,
G

Have you not got any arm rest?

Haven't picked up the car yet, but the one I test drove didn't have it. I assumed it was an optional extra, which I wasn't offered at the time of ordering. Getting the Excite model if that helps?

no mate you wont get it on that spec
i have it with the EPB not sure if they do the arm rest with the manual brake set up
sure someone will answer that if so it will be a case of swapping the center console over

You should have an arm rest mate that slides every j I've seen in the show room has it.
if not there were plenty of centre consoles on eBay with them in cloth trim

That's what I'm hoping! Have seen these aftermarket armrests on ebay which "Fit most cars", but I'd like something integrated if that makes sense.

I hope so Rusty! But will have to wait and see. If not, I'll have to pop down Trents for a hunt ha.

If u can I would get genuine if possible, direct fit and better luck, hopefully it will come with one

I have an SRi with manual handbrake and have an arm rest.
I would suggest that if you don't have one and want one see if you can get a centre console from a breakers.

It's a 15 min job to put it in anyway
