Well after car sharing in a mk4 golf with a lad from work for numerous weeks now I have got quite used to having a arm rest,

So one universal eBay job later I have this

18D4F743-0156-480C-82D8-75D30D992C8C-634

Quickly realising its not going to fit I set about making it fit lol

So take the leftovers of a broken garden swing bench some imagination some cutting and fixing mixed with a hell of a lot of patience and you end up with this :)

Plan on getting thin plywood to cover the sides and top and carpet over it to hide the poles

Something like this

also looking for a genesis bench/seat cloth to cover the lid

All comments welcome

That's a lovely interior you have! Is this what comes standard on the Genesis?

And that arm rest is a nice touch too, looks like it only comes forward enough to get your elbow on, but you've still got an elbow rest which I haven't seen before in an old polo! :)

Bog standard Genesis interior.

Saw these arm rests on ebay.de a few weeks ago and thought of getting one but I wasn't sure, not really a fan of it to be honest.

Yeah just standard genesis interior, and I'm still working on getting the armrest in the right position.

Where did you manage to find those mirrors lad?

  • Author

Got them off a dealer in Kent mate they were advertising one on eBay but rang them and they had one of the other side too :)

After fitting my mirrors today I decided to make a cover for my armrest supports

So take one piece of mdf

08BDE328-AA45-4C8E-925D-0D9DAB74C575-381

Add a cardboard cutout

E8013AD5-3D92-411C-A0A1-BCDD350C0323-381

Cut and build a cover

A9378E03-BF94-40FF-857F-ABC9D7A04E30-381

Add a old work fleece for fabric And you end up with this

533C7B66-9C95-4AF5-84B4-5DE0A7581D79-381

263F59B9-DDD3-4CF3-94FB-A2635F3863A9-381

82DA3860-637A-4A8D-9AB0-6DFFA71C31F4-381

Currently building a cover for the front but didn't get any pics of that

Also made something for shows using mdf covered with my genesis trim I had left from my spare seats cut to the size of the cut outs in my parcel shelf

D75FE9CB-7988-41D9-882B-734814240865-381

Rear headrests added too

All comments welcome

Parcel shelf looks neat, good idea. Personally I would cover the base of the arm rest with the same carpet that's on the floor so it blended in better.

Nice touches son, i have agree with mattloaf though on the material used for the box section.... polo carpet wouldve looked better

Love the arm rest.

Word of warning don't take too many style tips from slugbrow B-Shaw, his taste is awful

That armrest is brilliant. Love seeing people being innovative like that! Good work!

lol, the fuck have i got to do with anything.

Some cool stuff here, arm rest and air freshener.

Also so many things i'd simply never do :lol:
