Armrest

Can anybody recommend a company that can make an armrest for me as I am used to one on the FFRR. I've ordered the plus pack if that helps. Cheers

RE: Armrest

I'm not sure it would be that easy to fit an armrest to the Evoque seats due to the size of the seat side bolster. I'm the same as you - loved my armrest in the FF and Sport.
If you have any joy, let me know.

RE: Armrest

And me too, I will miss the centre arm rest from the other RR's I have owned. The other thing I found on the test drive at the Unleashed event was that I couldn't use the window ledge of the driver's door as an arm rest as it is too high for me and the door pull is too low to use as a rest.

When I had a Freelander 1 there was a company called something like the Seattle Timber company who manuafctured interior wood kits for Freelander and also marketed a very nice centre arm rest with cubby box below for that car too and the leather was an exact match for the cloth of the seats

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Armrest

I've just searched in the Freel2 forum and come up with this - this is the same company I bought the one for my Freely1 from http://www.woodcompany.com/freelander2007.htm BUT they are meant for cars that don't originally have a centre cubby box.

Sorry for being thick but isn't this an armrest, I appreciate they're not fold down high up ones, but this is still an armrest isn't it?

RE: Armrest

that is the cushion on the top of the cubby box - what we mean are proper fold down, the length of your arm type arm rests that the Freely2, Disco4, FFRR and RRS all come with on the driver and front passenger seat, usually covered in the same leather as the rest of the chair
Here is what the two look like folded up on my FFRR
