You can retro the mk6 too, or scirocco as they are the sane. Slight variation on cloth colour but it enough to bother. I have a mk6 in mine.

As Phil says really easy to fit, no more than 20 mins.

Oh, and buy genuine, wouldn't  touch those armster ones on eBay. Seen a few genuine ones listed over last couple of days too  :happy2:

the main outer body of the armrest is 1K0 863 323 B

so if it has a 1K0 or 1K6 part number on it then you can be fairly sure its genuine

On top of what Phil says you can tell just by looking at them, they have a very destinctive shape

These are all genuine. You will not that lots tend to be missing the rear cupholder. All the parts for that come to nearly £50 at the dealers (or do what I did and get a storage tray insert for £17 instead) but just so you know when comparing which to buy :) You can get brand new ones for £175 as you will see

The proper mk5 version is about £20 more than that one in the first link.
