Sounds interesting as it extends longer and higher ( she said )

Can you give me the link to the shop.. eBay isn't it? Looks like it's a UK supplier which interests me.

You won't find the Audi armster listed ,they told me that there was little interest in them so they were discontinued.........
Also a link to the old Ebay listing:

I always thought the armrest compared to the larger comfortable one on our Saab 9/5 is skimpy and pathetic on our cars and whoever in VAG designed those hinges should have been fired on the spot.[mad] The thing's general shitful.
I'm really not that B&twisted about it lol ,but this looked like a great quick fix...

Just a bump-surely with all the stuff we put on our cars ( worthwhile and waste-of-time crap ) someone must have fitted one of these ?
Hard to get info on Audi fitment etc
The one for sale here is black,I'd have to paint it with vinyl paint which would be a PITA ,but its brand new and Wofies armrest is worn through the coloring in places as I like to slouch on long trips [rolleyes]

So I jagged this anyways for a fraction of the new price ,and it was unfitted,brand new-( Ive been in that sad sellers position many times in my life tho...feeling.... [:|])
Mini review here:
Removed my original shitty OEM armrest with a broken super-glued hinge-yuk.It had some neanderthal cell phone base and socket in the console housing but the connectors were easy to get to underneath with the ashtray removed.
Firstly after a trial fit,I painted the leatherette padded top with duplicolor vinyl spray-a superior product compared to others I have used.Very close color match to Wolfies mid to dark grey interior.I left the base black which makes the top " float " -yep weird but its a good look and after all my instrument mainframe is black surrounded by grey leather.
Upgraded the mounting screws to next # gauge.
Result....Huge improvement over OEM ( for me )
As said I like to rest my left arm ( your right ) when in top gear on the hwy.Way superior to the OEM-longer ( towards gear shift ) ,higher,generally more comfortable and way better constructed.
Pics below inc. invoice sent to my seller when he prev. purchased it for your info.I wouldn't have considered paying that in $A but that's how it rolls sometimes.....
