The shop here in Houston had a huge sample binder thing I flipped through until I found a grey that matched mine. I am sure a local upholstery store could help you out.

Hey Bart
did you get your armrest back yet that I sent you ?
Tyler, Ill keep my eyes out for yours coming in.
As for the steering wheel situation, Im pretty sure I can
redo any of ours with a great match to the OE colors.
I have a nice stock used black and red Vx steering
wheel on the shelf too.

No sir. Still waiting. If you sent it a week ago I can't understand where it could be. Usually US Mail from only 1 state over takes about 2-3 days...Originally Posted by Vehi-Cross-Az
I hope it didn't get lost. You sent it to the right address, correct?

I am interested in the used black/red steering wheel you have on the shelf. Do you have any pics of it to send me and what kind a price you lookin to get for it? Here is my office email to send pics: lsuarez@landrovermiramar.com
Thanx!

I received my armrest back about 2 weeks ago. I love it HOWEVER the underside is now cracked which was not craked before. I sent an email but have not heard anything back yet so.....
The black plastic piece that is the entire underside is cracked (very bad) at the front of the armrest where the armrest closes its latch. If you lift the armrest you will see how the upholstry/fabric (whatever you want to call it) is wrapped under this plastic. This plastic is cracked so back it's about to come apart. It looks as though when it was reassembled that it was screwed on to tight.
I didn't ask for a new armrest in return and would never expect that but I was hoping that a replacement plastic (whatever the part is called) would be replaced. I will send another email in hopes that we can get it resolved.
Other than this (which is a big deal especially if it comes apart), the armrest is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. In fact it looks factory it's so perfect.

Yeah Tyler,
When I removed my armrest before sending it, I also removed the black plastic piece from underneath. Even prior to sending mine, the rear part of it was cracking apart. I took some thin metal and epoxied it over the cracking area to reinforce it. IMO, I would not say Dayle is at fault here, because it is obvious this piece of plastic has some sort of deteriorative quality. Mine was almost crumbling away and VERY fragile.
I really don't think a replacment will be found. If this was a part we could order from Merlin, I would imagine the armrest itself would also be a separately available piece, which it is not. I was actually thinking of getting some thin metal and seeing if I could bend it and form a complete replacement.
