Front Arm Rests

[seefive]

I am considering moving to a post - 2004 (facelift) C5 and I notice Citroen quietly dropped the front arm rests from mid range models.

 

Given that I don't particularly want an Exclusive, is there a way to retro-fit arm rests?

I have them in my current car and wouldn't want to be without them.

 

Thanks

Have mine - I never use them ;)

But seriously, they look as though they are part of the seat so difficult to retro-fit. Maybe you can pick up Exclusive seats from a breaker.

I think that would get too complicated - electric seats in a car designed for manuals.

Maybe I should look for an exclusive. The arm rests are a major comfor thing for me, as I suffered whiplash injuries years ago that came back to haunt me . Since having the Citroen, all that pain's gone away, thanks to the suspension plus the arm rests supporting me properly.

 

Looks like I'll be reluctantly joining the diesel brigade - petrol only available with auto box, painful on road tax. Could they make it any more awkward?

 

What's the reliability like, with all those extra's? I have to say I prefer to keep it simple, hence looking at VTR's
