Installation of Additional Armrest

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Accessory kit

Having more space to store items inside the vehicle is always very useful. To add new space, you need to obtain the storage kit that also serves as an armrest to be installed on the centre console. For installation, remove the drink holder cover and then remove the three self-tapping screws that secure it. Position the armrest above the handbrake, inserting the circular part into the rear drink holder compartment previously removed. Secure the armrest firmly with the three screws provided in the kit. Ensure that the armrest is secure and can lift freely for easy access to the underlying handbrake lever.
