(T) Armrest Retrofit

That's useful to know, thanks... I've never really seen the point of a conditioned glovebox etc, surely you have to have the a/c on full blast to keep a drink (or whatever) cold, which I'm sure would please the other half (she's delighted I've ordered dual zone climate, so I can be cool and she can be warm!!!)

Well now I've got it I'm glad as it's all factory original spec, but having taken the centre console out and messing around, I wouldn't want to do it again, and no offence to people, don't think anyone who's not compotent shouldn't be doing it.

So the moral of the story is... if you want a nice centre armrest.... order Leather in the first place :-)

Well yes, but for those who buy a car "as it is", the armrest retrofit is a walk in the park.

What I'm saying is is that the conditioned food box isn't worth the effort.

Interesting point, I was at my dealers Monday and was told that the centre armrest does not come with the leather option on the 150 sport ?
Also I was told that I could not have leather with the maserati blue ?
can anyone dispute this ??

'Fraid not, leather and masser blue aren't available together... I've ordered masser blue, but aren't too worried about the lack of leather as a) I'm not that keen on leather seats - too cold in the morning! b) I thought the finishing of the leather seats in the bravo in my local showroom left a lot to be desired (puckered seams etc) and c) my missus is vegetarian and doesn't approve of leather

As to whether the armrest comes with the leather on a sport - I'm none the wiser. I'm sure I've read here that it comes with the leather interior, but the brochures don't seem to back that up. I know it's standard on Active sport & dynamic if that helps...

Sport gets it with the leather option, but Sport without leather has no armrest.

Stupid, since as you say Rich, the Active Sport gets it!

Cant understand why they didn't have the armrest as standard throughout the range, maybe with the option of having the refrigeration part of it as an option, anything has to be better than the piece of plastic which is there.
I know slightly off subject,but its the same as why are there so many different variations of the same cars in different countries with parts that are standard in some and not in other countries, oh well i suppose it all boils down to money.

So the food box is not part of the arm rest?
I hate the arm rest i have, it has a lip that keeps making me think it should open but it does not - and it is stupid, - i have the 150 sport,
Could anyone put a picture up of the other arm rest as i dont think i have seen it and i would really like to change it if the other is better
