Styling Anyone fitted an armrest??
Ive fitted one mate. Piece of p155 to fit! It was either 2 or 4 screws iirc.

Sorry to hi-jack but with an armrest fitted do you loose the function of the rear cup holder ?

I looked at this on eBay myself. It looks like two cup holders pop out of the back

messaged the ebay seller and he said hi you must screw it with 4 small screws to the sides of your original console, normally no taking off of the seats is needed. thanks so doesnt sound like seats need to come off
They dont. All u need to do is slide the seats fully forwards for the 2 rear screws then slide the seats fully backwards for the front 2. Its literally easier than falling off a log lol.
I had one of the armrests, on my old 08 active. It was great to be honest. Took the plunge today and bought the above so will take some pics once fitted, maybe a guide if neccessary?
I have only installed the original fiat one which came with a new centre and surround around the handbreak etc.

Guys, this is way too wide for the grande punto, at least in the sporting trim (seats). I've asked to send mine back.

Ahh good job you put that, was just about to buy it, yeah it says make sure there's like a 15cm space or summit :s haven't checked yet but ahh ryte if its too big :/ bit of a bummer, was well wanting one, I know there's that one for £90 or summit but seems quite abit just for an arm rest (well I won't be paying that anyway) if anyone finds one cheap ish that fits, please let me know
cheerscheck this one, it's jus over £50 all in and show's pictures of it fitted in a Punto, look's quite big aswell but no cup holders, been thinkin about 1 myself but unsure yet, dont really fancy screwin it into the plastic trim, i imagine one day it may loosen up and have to be removed and be left with 4 holes there.

Hi Guys,
This is the one I have, it is a genuine fiat one and it came with a new centre surround also I paid £40 for it some time last year.
It fits perfectly as it should being from fiat although I have adapted the inside of it to hold a cup. If these are still available, I would recommend this armrest.
