What happened to it?

[zoran_sk]

The model of my Ceed comes without that part.

[tim_p]

Another source:
Nefelejts! - KART�MASZ KIA CEED

Looks the same as the one on eBay.
12.180 HUF = 48 € but I don't know about the shipping fees.

(Hmm. Can't post with my original account, so here goes FLS(2)...)

Today I had the opportunity to check the aftermarket armrest for the ceed. I also took some pictures. (See the attachment.)

Photo #1
The armrest itself.
It is surprisingly close to the ‘factory’ armrest. The look and the feel… I would say in 95% the same. The color matches too.

Photo #2
The armrest opened.
Inside you can notice bigger differences compared to the ‘factory’ item. However the hinge looks strong enough, and the magnetic lock seems to work sufficient. The small panel is removable to grant access to the original container.

Photo #3
The bottom of the armrest.
The form seen in the middle helps to hold the armrest in its correct place.

Photo #4
Four screws are included to secure the armrest. (It seems to me like an overkill. I would not use them, but find some another way to fix it. )

All in all: I was impressed - it is a way better than expected. After it is fitted you really have to look twice to notice that it is not a ‘factory’ armrest.
