Hopefully it will be here by weeks end. Looks well built, keeps the rear cup holder free and has storage. Full refund if I'm not happy. Here's some pics, I'll report back after I get it.

 

Where did you order it and for how much? Is it an easy install? Thanks!

 

It was $95 total, including shipping to the US.

I got it from here...

Looks simple to install but won't know until I get it.

 

Thanks for the info. Do you live in the San Diego area? The houses in the pic look like San Diego...

 

Can you post pics once you install it?

 

I live in Huntington Beach.

Yes, as soon as I get it, I will post pics of the install and such.

 

I just got one of these and love it. Nice soft cushion, great storage area, easy install (4 screws), and it it the perfect level to rest your arm and still shift

 

Yup, couldn't agree more and the price is very nice to boot.

 

I got one of these off ebay for 59.00 and I love it!!!! There is a guy that sells these on ebay, he must get them for a good price as most go for 59 plus shipping.

 

Nice... wish it was in a color that would match the checkmate

 

Looks very nice. How is the quality/construction of it and how solid is it?

 

Thinking about getting this one. I like the extra storage. Any one else own this armrest? Care to give us your thoughts?

 

same here. slightly flimsy (only side to side) but it certainly does the job. love the extra storage, and it matches near perfect

it screws into the console, which had me worried but its definately not noticeable. Had to take the seats out to get enough room to install as well.

Supposedly there are one piece stock consoles out there that would really really sure it up... the flex isnt really from the armrest itself, but more the flimsyness of how the console bolts to the floor of the car.

 

I've seen this on ebay too and am interested. The description says it's black, so I don't understand how it could be a perfect color match for the MINI. I've got the leatherette and it's dark grey.

 

well, cheap black = MINI dark grey?

My 09 Leatherette seems pretty black, though... I know this is the 1st gen section, and im sure your Leatherette may be different??

I had pics of mine, but i think theyre on my Laptop somewhere...at home. ill have to maybe see if i can find em

but the one in the OP's post looks pretty awesome as far as matching goes!

 

Cool!!! Does it block the way to pull-up the E-Brake?

It will seems great for extra storage !!

 

my ebrake doesnt hit....if i give it that extra hard extra click it just gently rests on it... and the console can hinge up very easily so technically its never in the way lol

 

Can you amplify on the install a bit...4 screws..where? what about holes for the screws...do the screws go into plastic...

Intersting...the web site has it at $115, ebay $89

 

oops just read this...yeah into the console...like on the sides 1/2" from the 'top' inbetween the rear cup holder and ebrake

edit: heres the 2nd gen one in my 09
