i always wondered since the coupe centre console is very similar to a e36 if any one has a arm rest in there coupe ?

SOme owners have bought aftermarket ones before.

thanks
that looks great.
what is there to it and were can i get one from if you dont mind me asking.
and the handbreak

You can prolly get one from Age Concern. The deluxe model comes with carpet slippers and pipe

Seriously though, although an armrest has never appealed to me cowboys looks the dogs doo dah's

I bought one off ebay years ago but never fitted it and sold it on here I think That handbrake comes up for sale on here from time to time just keep your eyes open

The Stilo armrest is a common mod, tho mines not fitted yet. I think my seats too low actually.

is there any guide or anything on how to for the arm rest mod ?
thanks for the replies

The alloy handbrake cover is / was a genuine Fiat accessory for the Coupe and as has been said, they do come up for sale on here (or eBay). There's also a matching genuine Fiat gear gaiter surround too.

I think Cowboy got his armrest from the German eBay site then had it retrimmed to match his tan interior. It actually looks far better (and stock) in real life than in the photo.


I've not heard about this; anymore information would be much appreciated.

Here is mine ... It's from Alfa 166, on 147 are the same With a little of changes it looks like stock !

I feel over stupid now me and a mate took a 147 down the scrap yard with black leathers and arm rest
How do you secure them inside the coupe ?

also, does the handbrake not hit it when you lift it up ?

There are various leather trims with coloured stitching available on ebay for the Stilo armrest...

Which one of these is the best/easiest to install on a Coupe?
147 Armest

Generic Alfa Armrest

Stilo armrest

(Hopefully not the Stilo one, as it is pretty pricey...)

Hmm, my Stilo armrest looks exactly like the 147 armrest, in fact, it IS that armrest. Maybe the bottom mount alters slightly but I don't think so.

That Stilo armrest is an aftermarket item.

Yes it hit it but you pull up the armrest if you are going to use the handbrake !


The 166 is for me the best choice the only difference is in the bottom - if you mount 147 armrest in fiat coupe there will be more distance betwin the end of the armrest and the gear shift (i hope you understand me) ... It will be hard for me to explain the way i mounted it without any photos so if you are interested i could try to make a "how to" guide

i would really appreciate a guide or even some photos of mounting points etc. and small pointers
Thanks

Ha Ha now that's funny


Good job the coop handbrake is useless

So its not just my coupe then ?
lol
