I was originally looking at getting an arm rest as an optional extra. Unfortunately the salesman told me the car would have to be specially built because I was ordering an optional extra and this would take a minimum of 16 weeks...

.

I have done a search online and the arm rest can be bought separately. Does anyone know if this could be fitted retrospectively or is it purely a factory fit option only?

Hi I am going to phone the dealer and check this out

You can buy it as an accessory so you must be able to fit it after you have received the car .

I'd like to know this too. Had my beady eye on it...

I have got Feline which has an armrest as standard but hardly ever use it as when it is down it is almost impossible to get at the handbrake.Nice on motorways but hopeless around towns.

Hi Guys, thanks for the responses. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow so I will ask and report back.

I have just ordered the arm rest for the peugeot 208 costing around £136. It must be able to be fitted if its being offered as an accessory on the peugeot website.

 

[cheesebag]

Any idea how much fitting would cost?

Have a look at.....www.caraccessoriesplus.co.uk

Did any of you purchase the armrest?
If so how easy was fitting, able to do yourself or is it a job at the dealers?
And was it worth the ££ ?

You can fit them. I took the one out of my mates car and wrapped it in alcantara. It just bolts in

 

[mello]

where can i order one pls ?

 

[JBD]

I'm sure you could get one from any dealership parts counter or maybe try ebay

 

[true blade]

Did anyone get a reply as to how much the fitting of a armrest would be?

 

[JBD]

It just screws in. There's really no reason to get it fitted IMO

 

[mello]

i just got a free one with my gti <3

My dealer in wokingham just quoted me £360 for the official GTI armrest and has to be ordered in about 500 different parts, which is on eternal back order or 150 for the "standard black" one


Joke!

I got mine from Car accessories plus. http://www.caraccessoriesplus.co.uk/product/peugeot-208-armrest.html
Retrofit is dead easy. I did a how to but the instructions that come with it explain it well. Fitting took less than an hour http://www.208ownersclub.co.uk/forum/armrest-retrofit_topic1121.html#.U3CUDsJwabw

I can help if you are local.
