Do you keep hitting your elbow

[freerange7]

Do you keep hitting your elbow on the centre console above the electric window buttons?
Anyone made anything to stop this, get around this problem?

[FELIX_5]

No, lol. Go to the gym and shed a few pounds? Buy a booster seat from halfrauds....

I had my centre console removed for a while but put it back in for the time being.
In the future I intend to move the switches up into the centre dash area (ie near the stereo) then I can get rid of the whole centre console.

I take it you're a short-arse?

[zac510]

Not really, I think I just have short legs!

I find its quite a good height for my arm to just rest on top of while changing gear.

I always found the Mk1 centre console to be perfect as an arm-rest. With the Mk2.5 my elbow always finds the cup-holder which is a bit annoying.

Unless your all muscle I'd re-consider that statement

BMI 28.4

Overweight = 25-29.9

Anyway no never had a problem with the centre console although its been removed from my track car for a long time. Only bit I had to remove was the door pull as I kept smacking my knee on it.

And the openy bit opens the wrong way

Yes! How annoying is that, every time I fill up with fuel, I open that to release the fuel flap and its a right faff!! My only gripe with the car so can't complain too much, but is annoying...

Well I've had mine for 4 years now...
I'm not sure if I've stopped putting my elbow in the cup holder or if I've just gotten used to it so it feels comfortable

[ali_kat]

Still opens the blooming wrong way tho
