The armrest in y 97 XK8 is shot and I have found a replacement one, but this one has cup holders... does anyone know if the armrest with cupholders the same size as mine that does not have them ?
Many thanks.

 

Yes, both versions are identical in size and shape, but having just swapped my cupholder version for the non-cupholder model (thread), you need to be careful that the catch is the same (magnetic or mechanical - they can be either) as the one on your center console.

 

I think I remember seeing a precut leather piece to re-upholster the cupholder style armrest - do you guys remember seeing this thread and/or where to get the piece from? I do want to keep my cupholders for now.
