Following discussions on the forum a couple of weeks ago I have just purchased the centre armrest in real leather for my SE from the Wood Company. I also got about 5% off the basic price and the company is willing to extend this to other members if you mention the Freel2 forum at time of ordering.

Based on the pictures, it looks like this would only work on non-armrest vehicles? Greg East

Not sure whether it fits with standard HSE / leather pack arm rests but Albert Frederik has had some retro fitted. See his gallery on following link:

I think this is a bit overkill with the fitted armrests too.

Did you fit it yourself? Is it better then an armrest? Does it come in the way of the emergency brake? Thanks FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER |

Very easy to fit .Im 5"11 and the armrest is in the ideal place for me. Mrs G is a lot shorter so when she has the seat forward the armrest is too far back. It does get in the way of the handbrake a little bit but not enough to be a problem. The top pad is a nice thick high density foam. The inner storage is only small but fine for ipod/phone and a few other little things. The only ugly part of the thing is the exposed door hinge when the lid is open. but the outside part of the hinge is cleverly covered in the fake leather material.

The new armrest just arrived and was fitted immediately. It's true that it only takes 5 minutes to fit, and most of that is getting the rubber base out of the cubby, without scratching anything. The fixing screw looks frighteningly large when you first see it, but it is the correct size. I fitted the original rubber base inside, rather than their adhesive felt. Now that's done it's another excuse to go off for a tootle in my new 'armchair'. Fitted armrest pics added to gallery. Was GS TD4 Auto, Privacy, Santorini with Tundra & Alpaca, Cold Climate Pack.

Agreed the screw does look too long, as if it may dig to deep and jab into something under the console... but mine tightened fully no problems. The rubber mat has a little lip so I managed to fish it out with a finger nail no scratches!.

Once you've got it fitted, let's see some pics. I'm curious about how the adjustable version looks and works. I'm very pleased with mine, it's what your (GB) left arm's for, when not supping a pint.

Armrest arrived yesterday aI managed to fit it this morning. You are right just took five minutes. The screw really looks huge. Thought will go all the way trough the car and scrach the road. But it does not as I looked under the car and everything was in order. The one I have is real leather as it did not seem to make sense to take the leathe look as there is more than enough vynil in the car allready. As my seats are half leather/half fabric probably got more leather than in a seat. The photos I posted (this is the first time I try so I can only hope it works) are with the extented pad in retracted and slided out position. The sliding pad is a very good ideea and would recomend it to anyone who is looking to buy an armrest as for me the ideal position is mid way betwen the retracted and slided out position. Before fitting I was a bit concerned that the pad in slided out position might interfere with the handbrake. No worry there it does not. Am now.
