FMC Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 A few different suppliers, not sure if they are the same manufacturer but they look ok in the pics. Anyone got one fitted? If so, what's the quality 'feel' like? Easy to fit? etc http://www.european-parts.net/catalog/prod...products_id=957 Also this one: http://66.196.80.202/babelfish/translate_u...%26id_art%3d200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a thread of comments on that site. There is also a very cheap (£25) one on the gbdriver site, for universal (non-tailored) use. A heavily padded one from Italy, can be found on eBay, at ~£85, which is about £7 dearer than the Armster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrefryer Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Got my armrest two days ago. :D (Ebay € ~60.-) It is only attached with 3 small adhesive tapes, so it can be removed without leaving any drill holes B) Also replaced those plastic dowels (which hold the central console) with something more stable (had to cut a thread first) ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMC Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Tyrefryer - THANKS! I am really glad you've posted on here becasue my German is less than useful and even using a translation website i find it difficult to navigate the German fiesta-ka-forum.de!!! This is the best one i've seen so far! Fabric not leather and attractive mounting base too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMC Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 For anyone interested in a group buy, there's this note at the bottom of that eBay advert (in red): Note: For dealers and big customers we can make a good offer! Achtung: Für Händler und Großkunden können wir ein gutes Angebot machen! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle_gr Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 so , are we interested in a group buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMC Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 I would be definitely, even if i could save a tenner lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Actually - that's clever. Maintains the cup holder as well I see! I could be tempted if the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skully Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 This looks like it would hamper putting the handbrake on and off chums. Am I right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 This looks like it would hamper putting the handbrake on and off chums.Am I right?? I would think so - but I'd expect to have to lift the armrest to get at the handbrake in any car the size of a Fiesta... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMad Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I would be tempted with joining a group buy and I haven't even got the car yet (Jan 4th). So long as it can be removed without leaving any holes. A lack of a centre armrest nearly persuaded me not to go for a Fiesta. But only nearly.

Tyrefryer Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 We gathered 14 people for our group buy (and saved € 10.- each ;) ) One thing I have to mention: This armrest has acceptable quality, but could be made better,... I had to grind off some sharp edges & the rear bolt-cover was too big. Nonetheless I would buy it straightaway, because it has the best look of all armrests, I could find by now and of course the simple removal :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrefryer Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 You also mentioned you needed to grind some pieces? You get the armrest and two "cups". One you glue into the original tray, the other is then attached with 5 screws. (The armrest is finally fixed with a big bolt) And this second cup had some sharp edges, which I grinded.

Focus_ST-3 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I fitted the italian one which has been mentioned, got it off eBay for around £90. Its quite good as far as armrests go i suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
