Default To replace center armrest

I am new to the forum. I recently purchased a 1997 XK8 coupe and have been really enjoying it.

I'm considering replacing the lid on my center console armrest. It is a little worn but the rest of the interior looks great. Any recommendations for locating a new replacement part?


Thanks


Tony

Welcome to the forum Tony,

Congratulations on the XK8.

Follow this link XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XK8/XKR section for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top there is a good place to start for info on regular issues. You'll find a very useful video there on recovering the Centre Console lid.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You may also like to visit the US Southern MidWest Region section by following this link Southern MidWest - AR LA MS KY TN AL - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forum.

Welcome Tony- we own the same animal. I would start with Ebay if you don't mind used, but there are plenty of other places you can try as well. I have purchased parts from these guys when looking for new..... Jaguar Parts Center - Call (800) 510-1401 for Genuine Jaguar Parts and Accessories

welcome to the forum and Jag family. Check the threads in the link provided as there are other options to refinish the leather that may be something to consider instead of replacing.

There are many threads on refinishing the leather....search the forum. Many companies make quality dyes.

Also the padding can be restored:
