2011fiesta Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I've been looking at this very armrest on eBay. How are you getting on with it now that you've had it in the car for nearly a year? Any problems / rattles / wobbles / etc? How easy was fitting? It looks like it bolts straight onto the top of the rear cup holder recess. Did you have to do much cutting / drilling / removing stuff to fit it? Cheers Obviously can't speak for iNath but I have the same one and personally haven't had any rattles etc with it. I doubt it would withstand the weight the Boomerang one claims it can but for a simple and cheap armrest its the best 50 odd quid I've spent on the car. The space between the front seats looks complete now and is a handy additional storage compartment. I didn't drill mine so it can be removed without trace in the future. (It just sits in the rear bin with the use of the double sided sticky pads that come included - suprisely this is adequate). :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also looking at the Boomerang one - not for the load claims - but simply because it claims to be able to fit without drilling/damaging anything. If this one can effectively be stuck in place then that is a result as it's only half the price! Good news! Cheers Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to do much cutting / drilling / removing stuff to fit it? Cheers Same as Paul, I'm still a happy chappy! I did drill mine, if I ever removed it there would just be 4 teeny tiny holes left in the bottom of the rear cup holder, doubt you'd ever notice it.

Did you have to remove anything or do you just drill through from the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Coolio! Did you have to remove anything or do you just drill through from the top? Slot it in and use the 4 self-tapping screws :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 scuse my ignorance but what is a back box only mod?? Its the rear Silincer Box for the exhaust system, instead of a full system containing a replacment manifold and sports cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojariggs Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Slot it in and use the 4 self-tapping screws :) Ordered the armrest from Germany now. I think I'll try sticking it first and screw it if I dn't like it that way. Cheers fellas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davecl Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Its the rear Silincer Box for the exhaust system, instead of a full system containing a replacment manifold and sports cat ahh so it's what's usually known as a cat-back? different terms confusing me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
