Hi all
New to this site,hope you can help me .
I recently bought a 1999 406 glx ,lovely car but I miss the arm rest I had in my old car.What seats do I need to look for as replacements for a more comfortable journey ?
I wiil just change the front and I don;t mind if they are leather or cloth.
Thanks
Ron

What sort of interior do you have at the moment? If you have a D9 (with the honeycomb grill) with the grey & blue interior, I may have what you are looking for as I have just taken this out of my car:

406 armrests are the best in the buisness, executive or SE cars will have them for sure. Executives will be where to go to add a full leather interior.

Are you sure about that? I always found them to be too high and interfered with the gear change. I like the ones on Golfs where you can adjust the height yourself.

get yourself a center arm rest , they fix to the center console and add extra storage space,

they dont cost much

That's not a bad idea to be fair. I'll award you one house point for that

something like this, bolt it to the sides of the center console,

i keep meaning to get me 1 but i always forget

I still think they are the best in the buisness, ive found the way there is 2 seperate armrests is a great idea as it gives room in the middle for access to the handbrake and gearstick so its just fine for me in my seat position. Ive been in a golf which didnt have armrests and i dont understand vws trim levels, so dont know where to see armrests in a golf.

Do you have the passenger seat and does that have an armrest ?
Colour is not a problem as mine are covered with imitation leather ,easier to slide in and out.
How much do you want and where are you ?
Thanks

I've got both front seats (along with the rear, doorcards & various dash parts). I'm in Andover & make me an offer (if I'm near enough for you) - it's all taking up space at the moment.

dam you have made the inside of that car much better. Good work to you sir

Thanks for the info,trouble is I'm in South Wales.

Bit of a trek then. Could always try www.shiply.com - just put in collection point of SP105ES & your postcode & see if anyone comes up with a sensible price. It doesn't cost anything to try either. I got quotes of about £40 for a full interior a few months ago.

Thanks for all the info,I decided to buy a centre consol on Ebay for £19.
It does the job really well and was easy to fit.
