For those of you who don't know there is an MR2 Roadster page on Facebook. A guy there Dominik Raszkiewick is producing leather armrests that have a bung underneath that sits into the cup holder and seats the armrest it's a pretty decent job
Well tell him to sign up on here lol for those of us not on Facebook lol
+1
That looks pretty good from here :-) :-) :-)
How much is he charging?
Yes it would be good to have him on board
I'd take a black one of those.
I have sent him a PM on Facebook suggesting he signs up
I bought a black one from him it's a perfect match s:) :) s:) £35 (inc P&P)

Think he charges £35 plus postage
You guys and your leather seats! *grumbles jealous thoughts* .... Wouldn't look right with my fabric ones, don't think s:( :( s:(
Ive got one also, in black. Very well made, pops in and you lose the cup holder bit but its well worth it.
I like the fact it's reversible and looks very good.
I still prefer mine as it stops me from accidentally hitting the heated seat switches, I can still use the cupholder and the rear area to put chewing gum in... and it was a lot less than £35 s;) ;) s;)

Heated seats!! I want!! s:) :) s:)
Quote from: "Jrichards20"Heated seats!! I want!! s:) :) s:)
I ought a kit off eBay and fitted them my self, not difficult just time consuming :-) :-) :-)
How much did they cost?
Quote from: "Jrichards20"How much did they cost?
If I recall the kit cost around £60, it was a carbon one rather than wire which is supposed to be the better of the two, the one I got had three levels of heat adjustment and orange laminated switches, that an a shed load of zip ties s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Quote from: "AckersMR2"the one I got had three levels of heat adjustment
The Dealer option ones only have 2, I feel duped s:( :( s:(
Was it easy to fit, how did you do it. Interested in this mod, hate cold seats in the winter

Did you make yours Trevor or retro fit from another vehicle?
Andy.
Mine's from a Rover 416, 99p from eBay, then I spent £12.99 on the leather cover for it... bargain s:D :D s:D
Quote from: "andyroo104"Did you make yours Trevor or retro fit from another vehicle?
Andy.
Mine is from a rover 45 , fitted similar to the way onion86 has it fitted ,and looks identical ,
size is 9 1/2 inch long and 5 1/2 inch wide
Just make sure you get the hinge with it ,and as said you can get covers in various colours
heres an example ,or nip to the scrap yard

Looks a good one
Her is mine with cloth seats, most important thing to me is that it looks original, and doesn´t look to intrusive. I think this does the job. Comfy leather to, pricey with 15 pound int. postage though.

Thanks you SteveMK3, it´s from my 2002 Roadster TTE Turbo, made an introduction of it on the new members forum. :-) :-) :-)
he came on the other week posted an ad for his arm rests in the forsale section .................then the ad disappeared
So do you sell these Cairo?
I just bought one from a guy called Dominik. He likes to advertise for them on the raodster facebook forum, but i haven´t heard so much from him lately (maybe he´s on holiday or something). Anyway, he sells them here:
m https://www.facebook.com/ArmrestsForToyotaMr2Roadster (https://www.facebook.com/ArmrestsForToyotaMr2Roadster) m
Thanks for the link s:) :) s:)
Anybody bought this armrest from this Dominik guy from facebook lately?
i'm thinking of having a go at making one looks easy enough to make if you've got the right stuff s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Quote from: "chillired"Anybody bought this armrest from this Dominik guy from facebook lately?
Oh God, please don't go there!
People on FB seem pleased with them but he's a spammer of the highest order!
didn't he join here a while ago and was subsequently deleted after about half a day s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
I got one a couple of months ago - very pleased..... Makes cruising much nicer. Would totally recommend.

Well, bought it, fiited nicely and looking fab! s8) 8) s8)
To be fair if like me DIY skills zero then you have to look to what's out there in the marketplace, its a tad expensive @ £35 but it does look good the red leather on is a pretty good match and it finishes off the look of the cabin
Just spoke to the fella on facebook m https://www.facebook.com/ArmrestsForToyotaMr2Roadster (https://www.facebook.com/ArmrestsForToyotaMr2Roadster) m
Still charging £35 and I told him he should sign up to these fourms for business reasons anyway, think im going to get one for myself
He was invited to do so however he ignored it. Given his subsequent attitude and selling style on fb he is not welcome here. Just for the record
Not on facebook and no intention of ever signing up! Looks like a project to take on in the future & have a go myself. I like the concept that it's removable but looks like a standard feature.
I have just payed this fella on facebook today. He has said he will make it tomorrow and send it out Monday, and let me know the tracking number! Really cant complain at that service s:) :) s:)
Anyone without facebook I am happy if you want to transfer me the £35 so I can pay him, and ask him to sort you one
how do I get one of these? how do I get in touch with this guy? I would like one to match the tan leather interior I have in my 2 which is out of a jap import very smart. thanks.

There is a link 4 posts above yours that answers both of your questions.
Quite agree with MisterK. It's a simple concept and yet so effective. Unfortunately I am not a competent DIY person otherwise I would have taken this on, with the view to supply to members here! C'mon you DIYers. s:) :) s:)
On a different note, this guy is good, no fuss and very fast delivery. End product is very good.
I assume the Facebook armrests are not compatible with heated seats?

I love that, and its same leather as mine. Where did you get that from? I love the whole hinged armrest thing. Where can I get one?

All the rover 45 armrests I see on eBay are £20.
Sent the wife on to Facebook to have a butchers and he does centre and door arm rest for £50 delivered. Sounds OK to me. No talent or inclination for the diy unless its cheap and easy.
I picked up a black leather one out of a Rover 45 with its hinge for £2 from my local car scrapyard, fits perfect...!
Just ordered one from the book face dude. Got a bit of a journey for ding day so thought I'd make it comfy as poss. Will post a pic once it arrives :-) :-) :-)

Great suzz means I can have a look at yours before I order.
Unless temptation takes over beforehand.
Does he only do standard black and red?
I have red edition leather which I believe is a different shade
He does two standard colours- black and red
He can also do cream and dark blue.
If u are going to ding day I could ask him to send me a very small sample of the red leather which I'll bring along or post to u before hand. Then u cld compare it to the shade in your mr2 :-) :-) :-)

Looks good think I am going to take the plunge on these.
Suzz are your seats custom?

He has forgotten to add the red leather sample! However I'll message him and ask him to post one out.
The seats are original, not sure but think they are part of the TF design for the final 300 in 2006
Will give u a shout once the guy responds re the red sample
Just got a reply and he apologised for forgetting. However he is going to post it out :-) :-) :-)

I've got red edition leather which I prefer to normal but yours are even better.
Don't go to any trouble can always give him a shout myself.
Thanks, yeah I love the interior.
No trouble at all, done now :-) :-) :-)
just received door and centre armrests in black from the facebook guy. They're very well made and look great - he also goes overboard with the protective packaging for delivery. Highly recommended s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:
I have an armrest if anyone is interested in a price
Quote from: "James and his MR2"I have an armrest if anyone is interested in a price
Interested. :-) :-) :-)
Sorry now sold, for anyone that does not have facebook I can get you one for cost price and get it delivered direct to you
Oh yes please.. I have a religious aversion to FB. Its called a real life :-) :-) :-)
I'd like a black one please PM me with the details and thanks very much.
Hi everyone. As a complete idiot may I ask if these are hard to fit? I really like the one from the Rover. Is it just a case of unscrew one and screw on the replacement one? Surely it isn't that easy??
Yes it's really easy to do (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/01/unuduve8.jpg)i took the centre console out to fit bur that's really easy to do (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/01/4yburyta.jpg)
I plumped for one off the dude on face book. Fantastic. Ordered 2pm Saturday and revived a royal mail tracking number by 4pm!! Armrest arrived Tuesday. Fits perfectly and looks great!
