3rd Party Armrest

I'm looking for a cheaper alternative for an Armrest for my 2007 MCS (R56). I found this on EBAY, but it seems super cheap. Anyone get one ever?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/G1-Black-Big...item27bf78963c

In addition, i have the blue inserts in my seats. Anyone have a blue armrest that would match?

Here you go - it looks like that's the same one that's discussed here:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...r-armrest.html

As for a blue cover, you might look into redlinegoods.com for a custom cover. I don't think they have a cover yet for this particular armrest but they might be able to help you out. I just installed one of their covers on my euro-style armrest and it's excellent.

Armrest Kingdom armrest

Hello:

Has the Armrest Kingdom armrest been good to the users here? Any problems? I have heard that armrests in general seem to slide forward during stops and want to make sure this didn't happen to you. Does it hold up while leaning on it while adjusting to the seat or first getting in, which seems to put additional pressure on it, or should it only be used to rest the arm once you are firmly placed in the seat?

Anything else you can tell me to decide yes or no to buy this product would be appreciated. I have a 2009 Mini S R56 which I bought a few months back.

Thanks in advance.

I went to the other link,however the item isn't available on Ebay anymore, anyone who bought this item could link the buyer they got it from ? Looking to get one and I think the price is good enough to try it. If you didn't buy it from the dealer ...getting it after is so costly.

I got a good one off eBay for about $80. Install was quick and easy, and the armrest works well. I don't see the point in dropping hundreds on an official MINI armrest.
