Ooo very nice. I'd be getting all un-necessary now if was in green velour or grey tweed. :)

If you fit one of these does it mean that the rear headphone sockets become unusable?

Not that I make a habit of plugging into them, but y'know...

*Edit* Nice addition to accessory collection. I drove a BX with one and it was OK. Wonder what it'll fetch.

I find it really useful. More comfy to drive with it and the extra storage space really does come in handy for it (Sunglasses, wallet etc).
Feels weird driving a BX without one :lol:

I agree with Kitch. I found it extremely useful. Does make it slightly awkward to operate the rear window switches, but that's the only negative to having a armrest/cubby box.

That's five times the new price from the stealer in the Citroen price list of 1989! :shock: If that resale formula was applied to a secondhand GTI it would make it worth over 50 grand today! :lol:

Hope this one fits better than the centre console 'thing' on the C4 which I hate. Always getting in the way when trying to get to handbrake and generally I keep knocking my elbow on it. Right PITA, if it did'nt make a mess, I'd have it out.

Probably just me, but at least if it was a removable option (as per BX) it gives one the choice.

Good luck with your savings bud. I could have bought that but wouldnt spend such a large sum of money on a small bit of plastic. Hen's teeth aint worth it.

Years ago I had a grey tweed one I bought from leboncoin, but it must have been an earlier type as it wouldn't fit the Mk2.... Someone on here had it off me in the end I think. Haven't seen another one since!
