Toyota Aygo Armrest

Has anyone fitted one of these cheapy eBay armrests to a Mk1 Aygo? If so, do they look like an OEM part, or just some tacky bolt on thing?

Hi David,

I have one of these in my Aygo Fire:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tailor-Made-Armster-Standard-Armrest-to-Fit-Toyota-Aygo-2005-to-2014-/192034360456?fits=Car+Make%3AToyota|Model%3AAygo&hash=item2cb623cc88:g:ndYAAOSwOgdYyqcq

It was from "Mick's Garage" and was an easy, 5 minute fit...Three holes drilled into the rear cup holder, behind the hand brake, screw it in and you're done.

It comes from Ireland and takes about three to four days to arrive but once it's fitted, it looks like it has always been there.  The good thing about mine is that I can tilit it back, into an upright position, to drive around town, in traffic, where I might need my handbrake more but on a run, it's great.  I'm really glad that I got one as it gives another covered "Cubby Hole" (I also have the glove box door/flap fitted) and to be honest, I would recommend it.

I hope that helps.

Ok, thanks for warning me 

Was is like the tailor made one in Agent Orange's post, or another style?

About to say the same thing, the armrest from Mick's Garage is much the superior one!

Hope that helps a bit

Just to add to my previous post, David.....The tailor made one is the one to go for.  I know that it's over £40.00 but it's worth every penny when you compare it to the cheap ones....They really are nasty!

As Petesellit says, it is superior not only in looks and quality but also in durability, ease of fitting and it looks original, like I said before, it looks like it's always been there.
