Centre arm rest - fitting one to an expression

Postby lju » Sun Apr 04, 2010 6:34 pm

I've bought a 2008 Expression dci and which does not have an arm rest between the front seats.

Is it a straight swap for one from a car with one?

Anyone know?

Sorry to resurrect this old post, but I am really interested in this too.

Just bought a 2008 1.5 DCI Expression (80) 3 dr, and it does not have a central armrest in the front, just a plastic tub like storage area, and I would really like to replace this with a drivers armrest.

Any ideas or advice would be greatly welcomed.

Thanks.

Yeah too expensive, especially as best quote from a place I'd trust for my number respray is £250 as they have to remove the old sh1tty chipped, flaky paint job... I want to do that myself n leave them to paint it but afraid I'd make even more if a mess!lol

Got my armrest this morning, and fitted half an hour later. Must admit at first I was a little stumped by the gear stick gator but sorted it out.

Great job, finishes off just as I wanted.

Many thanks for your help.
