Let's see how to install a centre armrest on a Smart 453: first, unscrew the screw located at the bottom of the cup holder. From inside the glove compartment, insert the supplied screw and secure the armrest to its support.

Cover the bottom with the supplied mat and the operation is complete. If you want this very easy-to-install armrest, it is from FiloCar Design and costs £95.00. You can contact them via Facebook.

Alternatively, you can find other types of armrests on Amazon, perhaps a bit more complicated to install, but still dedicated to this vehicle and costing much less, such as code B077HQVGVZ, which costs £44.99, delivery included.
