    was looking into getting one for my Seat leon (2006 model) but from what i can see the offical leon one will fetch about €220 which is insane

    this unverisal fit one is about €50 in total but im unsure whether it would actually install properly

    anyone ever get a universal fit? was it alright?

    Dunno about the Leon, but the Mk1.5 A4 had one and it was really annoying.

    You're better off just going for the original. That particular one doesnt look like it will sit particularly well on the centre console of the leon. If i remember correctly i paid about €180 for the original SEAT one for mine. Money well spent to be honest and a doddle to fit. Makes it so much more comfortable. Keep a look out on ebay though as they do pop up from time to time.

    The only real downside is the plastic on it is cheap. it can creak a little sometimes but it gets quieter after a couple months and wears in. handy extra storage too. just make sure when you're ordering that if your car has the aux input (prob wont if its an 06) to get the model with the little cut out for this.

    www.seatcupra.net is a good resource too

    I can second EPM with the creaking issues and www.seatcupra.net, it's well worth a visit. Creaking aside I'd be lost without my armrest and the storage is invaluable. They are easy to fit, a few self tappers or strong glue but you will be down 2 cup holders. I have purchased parts from Seremotors in the North. They are excellent main Seat dealers and are always more than helpful. PM me for their details.

    I have a Mk IV Golf, it's a base model.
    I would love to put an armrest in it, but didn't think it was possible.

    I spotted these on ebay
    http://cgi.ebay.ie/99-04-VW-Golf-Jetta-Bora-Console-Armrest-Black-Leather_W0QQitemZ250311902830QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item250311902830&_trkparms=72%3A1301|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

    Does anyone know if these are suitable for my car and would the installation be difficult?
