IRONTUSK Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 So I recently got a 2014 1.0 ecoboost and before I actually picked up the car I had decided to get an armrest. I did a search on this forum and there are a few threads and found this one which looked very similar to one that someone had. I have gone to fit it and realised it is going to make using the handbrake very difficult and frustrating. My question is does anyone have an armrest which does not get in the way? or is there some kind of little storage box that can be bought which slots in to the same place and is used just for storage and not an armrest? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FIESTA-MK7-VII-2008-2014-CENTRE-ARMREST-BLACK-LEATHERETTE-NEW-/261622792713?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3ce9ef0209 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Sorry if I'm wrong but doesn't all fiestas after the facelift got a armrest built in already? (Facelift 12>) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRONTUSK Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 No they don`t. Mine is a 2014 ecoboost zetec. It is the zetec S and titanium that could with armrest as standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensambrook Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 How much is it to get the standard arm rest from Ford fitted? That one doesn't get in the way whatsoever on my ZS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 It's about £250, someone on here bought one to fit in their mk7. There was one on eBay last week for £110, the guy is breaking some STs some may have some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Nice Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I have a Titanium 1.6 TDCI mk7 and got mine via my main dealer Evans Halshaw supplied and fitted for £89:00. Yes it makes applying the hand brake a bit different at first but you do get used to it after a while. In hindsight I would have just bought it and fitted myself but wasnt sure what mods would be required on the centre console. Lifts the interior and also is quite comfortable on long journeys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StumpyBloke Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Yip, that's what I've done in my Mk 7. Can't beat the OEM version IMO. Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRONTUSK Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks for that! I have made an inquiry for the armrest/center console :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattDRX Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 ime the standard ford arm rest is actually uncomfortable in the ST, the side bolsters are too big and it's very hard to actually use it, when you do the bolsters are warping your body, needs to be a few inches further forward imo.

DaveTheDog Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 OEM version is pants. It’s rock hard and postioned too far back, you need a forearm of an orangutan for it to be useful.And for Titanium models, it should be swathed in leather.
