Buying a JDM Armrest in the UK

Buying a JDM Armrest in the UK
Hi All,
I know there is an armrest thread over in the interior discussion, but I couldnt find the info I was looking for in there.
Just got my SSM 2008 - really impressed so far (particularly with the $33 tank fill!). Had it undercoated - road noise reduction was noticeable (i'd say 30%) - would reccomend it for the money <$200
Like many others I am now on a quest for an armrest, and now find myself taking an unexpected trip to England. I was hoping that I might be able to pick up a JDM armrest while I am there and bring it back with me.
Can anyone help with answers to the following questions:
1. Do UK Honda Jazz's have an armrest already (in which case can I just go to a Honda dealer and buy one off the shelf). I figure if they are standard equipment then I stand a chance of finding a dealer that has one in stock.
2. If not, can anyone reccomend a store in the UK where I could get a JDM one?
Help always appreciated!!!!
DB.
P.S Is the Chevy Aveo a real car?

If i were you, i would look at other accessories that we cannot get here....the armrest is a BIG box to bring back...
Here's the link to a PDF accessories brochure for the UK
http://www.honda-access.com/uk/en/Images/68227.pdf
I would look at the tailgate decoration (looks almost the same one you can get from Asia / Zeta products), ultra net (the same as our cargo net, but can be separated into 2) and for those who don't want to tint their windows, the sunblinds!

Hey Mugen_Dom,
Thanks for this link, and the brochure. I didnt realize it would be listed as an option like this, but after I looked at the brochure I managed to track down a dealer price for the armrest - 200 pounds (400 CAD). So, unless can get one cheaper from a non-dealer source in the UK I think I will be better to get one here in Canada. I was quoted $335 up here, so even with tax it will still be cheaper (and as you point out, it was a big box!!)
If anyone knows of a non-Honda dealer source for the armrest in the UK, I would still be interested

whereabouts in the UK are visiting?
I've ordered a Jazz and it should be arriving any day now. It doesn't come with an armrest. My dealer quoted me £190, but that includes fitting, so you might get it cheaper if you dont have it fitted.
While you're here, you could go to a dealer and ask to take a Jazz on a test drive, that way you could try a right hand drive CVT. My dealer let me have one for an hour so you have a good chance to try it out.
If you don't mind 2nd hand, you could try these people:
for an armrest.

if you know the honda part number of the part from any honda vehicle, (or your chasis / vin number of your car - so they can match the interior colour), any honda dealer can look it up on their computer and order you any part, it will normally take only a few days for it to arrive from belgium... i do this all the time as my i have a JDM fit in the UK.
I ordered a L15A VTEC engine emblem & pearl white touch up paint last week, it arrived the next day from belgium!..
i'm looking what else i can order..........
