Ashley Carter 8 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Morning all. Has anybody on here fitted a full US Spec I have found one that has the cup holders and the rear arm rest with pop out cup holder. Are there any differences in the fixtures of these compared to a UK version. I know the main storage area infront if the gear stick looks slightly different. Any help much appreciated. Cheers.

daveyboy 897 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I think the bracket for the rear console is different to the European one. I was going to get one shipped from the states and it was going to come with the bracket and handbreak cover too as I was told they were different Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley Carter 8 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Cheers buddy. I should be able to knock a bracket up if I am able to see what one looks like. Yeah the one I have seen comes with no handbrake gaiter. I think it will be a worth while modification, such a shame they never did it for the uk.

VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) My god they bring good dollar on ebay. There's a couple on ebay now but at strong money. Edited February 8, 2015 by VR6CABBS Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) I just bought the handbrake gaiter and the bracket for fixing the console to the car for £70. That means my us spec console has cost me £190 all in. Crazy! I'll post a pic of my bracket once it arrives. Edited February 9, 2015 by Bealieboy VR6CABBS 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It has the gaitor but when asked about custom charges they said its a chance I take. It could end up being rather expensive. What bracket do they need to have? Is it a hidden one which joins the rear bit to the front?? Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) The bracket holds the arm rest in position which means I could actually put a drink in mine and not worry about it falling over. I tried to use an aftermarket handbrake gaiter to keep costs lower but it was total pants, hence spending a further £70. I'll be annoyed if I get any import charges too!Here's the link to what I bought, it shows the bracket, tapatalk won't allow me to upload picshttp://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=121562798679 Edited February 9, 2015 by Bealieboy Link to post Share on other sites

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 My us console owes me £190 by the time I bought it and then the bracket and handbrake and gaiter. Must be a cheaper way. Nice bit of kit though and it came with the boot popper button. Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Fuck me lol. I was speaking to a guy in the states a year or so ago and he was gonna get one for me with the hand brake gator and mounting bracket and ship it for $110 Link to post Share on other sites
