Hi, has anyone purchased and fitted the drivers armrest accessory, if so is it any good and worth buying?

I went for the version with a fitted rest so can't comment but I'd have thought the extra storage space would be useful. Really it all depends on if it is a useful height.

Hi RodB.
I collected my C3 Aircross in April and requested the armrest as a retro Dealer fit (£130 if memory serves). I have to say it was money well spent, i am extremely pleased with it and looks great, as if it was fitted in the factory. It's also very roomy, the lid lifts up or you can lift the whole thing and still have access to the cubby hole underneath. Go for it, you won't be disappointed.

In another topic, Mothy kindly provided a link to an armrest which looks really impressive on the website (http://www.armster.co.uk/). Has anyone purchased one of these “Armster” armrests? Are they easy to fit by a non-technical owner?

I fitted mine in five minutes. Four 3mm holes needed to be drilled in the console between the seats. This was easily accessible with the seats moved forward. I took these pictures yesterday.

Brilliant, thanks Roly, I think I’ll give it a try. Out of interest, is yours the Armster S or the Armster 2?

Armster S. As in Sierra.

Hi Roly,
How do you find the new armrest for comfort/position? I notice that version 2 can be extended, but if the 'S' version sits in the right place I don't want to waste money on a function that I don't need.
Many thanks
Chris

Feels just right. Is the same height as the door armrest.
