look at item 140539241286

Although this armrest does fit, its not actually an oem Seat one. The seat ones are square at the front and not round. This is mainly for the a VW golfs. If you put vw golf armrest into ebay loads of these come up. The audi a3 8l or s3 8l are the same as the oem leon cupra ones. Just look for a cloth one. Just make sure it comes with the bracket and fixings together with the special nut.
Other than that sere sells them new with as a whole kit but are around £125.

I agree with you pal. Just make sure you get the mounting bracket with it also. I bought a genuine a3 one which was in the same cloth material at a good price for mine for £28 and thought that was a bargain. Took me ages to source the mounting bracket. It cost me £50 just for the bracket and that was second hand. The stealers wanted £62. Then i had to buy the special nut from sere. All in all it cost me about £80.
Just remember that the coin tray has to be cut out so be careful whend doing it as im not sure if the golf one has the square part at the base of the armrest to cover it as the oem one does.
