If you're missing the centre armrest, it's easy enough to fit one. It's just a couple of bolts.

And for the love of god don't pay UK dealer prices.
I got mine from an Austrian dealer for £160 delivered, brand new (Go to ebay and allow international sellers)
It's got the same part number as the armrest in some Seats, so worth worth checking those prices too.
Don't pay the VW/UK premium.

There’s a forum member over on seatcupra.net who’s selling one that they bought for their current model Seat Ibiza FR. It’s up for sale as they’re selling the car;

I'm sure the VW UK price is close to £300.
The profit margin on it must be massive.

There was a group buy on the Seat Cupra forums for them, it was about £110 IIRC.
The other option is to look for an SEL, R-Line, or GTI+ in a scrap yard, as they have it standard. That's what I did with my old Fabia, cost me £30 for the armrest. I scoured eBay for a breakers yard that had an SEL model and pulled that part.

Nice to know I should get a chunk of my money back when I return the car.
They ain't getting the armrest with it.
