I saw an ad on facebook that you might want to check out. Apparently you'll be able to order an armrest to match your Fiesta interior from your dealer or Boomerang. Here is their website...

Exactly mrbird!

If you're interested accessories like this the Fiesta isn't the car for you....I would think a Honda Civic would more likely be you're cup of tea if you like things like this.

That is one of the reasons I love the Fiesta..it was designed with DRIVING in mind...not texting, not eating, DRIVING....

Most Europeans do not ever eat and rarely drink beverages in their car..PERIOD!

I have it from a very good source at Ford and was told in fact Ford will be making the armrest a FLA (Ford Licensed Accessory) that you can order from a local dealer.

I can tell you this, and I will be making a seperate post about it. If you want the FLA one, Team Ford Lincoln Mercury will be selling them at TeamFordparts.com for wholesale prices when they do arrive.

I hardly eat in my car and usually I just have a can of Arizona Southern Style Tea to drink when on long trips or a bottle of Lipton Brisk Sweetened Tea thats about it. The phone goes on my Zune Pad and stays there until I'm parked.

I've noticed I don't usually use an armrest while driving but it's a nice thing to have. Whenever I get a Fiesta I might pick one up.

Here is one that I found.

Welcome to Facebook | Facebook

Made by a company called Boomerang. Seems like it would look pretty nice.

I'm planning on an arm rest, the boomerrange one look great, some on Ebay form the UK look OK, a lot cheaper, but you get what you pay for, or it should be, you don't get what you don't pay for. Perhaps I'll make one! Wood covered in vinyl and some foam padding. Easy, about 40 hours of labor, no problem! I am a great wood worker! I'll drive it a while, I may find I don't need one.

Just be carefull making any kind of modification to the vehicle. Things could come dislodged in a crash, and become little missles. Just a little insight. BTW, this is from personal experince.

I have ordered a Boomerang armrest. I think it will be nice to have on long trips. I will not have it in the car during autocrosses though. That is what is SO wonderful about BOLTS Golfstrom. They can be UN bolted fairly easily. Many, MANY Fiesta owners will use their car as basic transport. It will never be driven for any other reason than to get to work. And that is perfectly OK.
