Hi All, I saw an older thread re: custom armrest solutions for the 575, wondering if anyone has done anything along those lines recently? Found a non-permanent cupholder solution that doesn't look too awful? Would love any and all ideas, doesn't seem like the original part from Ferrari is still available (to the extent it was marginally useful) but would be consider that as an option to build on, should anyone know of one available? Best, Joel
I haven’t seen or heard of anyone looking into this for quite sometime. I think the no-permanent/no screw holes bit would be the hard part of putting in a center console with holder. Recently, on an E-Type a guy affixed a cup holder that using one of the seat runner bolts. Possibly an S shaped bracket that becomes a mounting plate could riff off that?
There is a factory rear glovebox/armrest optionally fitted to late 575Ms. One of these images shows the 50 years of Chinetti emblem fitted to US 575Ms built in CY 2004 (including MY05 Ferraris). Have one of those emblems laying around somewhere. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I think hi-performance Velcro could provide a really secure mount without having to resort to screws or similar (which I would also prefer to avoid)
Love the factory option, could see using that as a base and inserting some sort of cushion on top of that, into the recessed compartment
I suspect the factory parts are hard to find and wildly overpriced. I’d think a custom box would not be too hard to get made. Contact a fabricator (think 12volt shops) and a good upholstery shop and I bet you’d have a great solution at a very reasonable price.
This is what I had my leather guy build ...works great Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Wow, that's exactly the sort of solution I'm thinking of... Would you be willing to share your guy's contact info with me? Did he start from scratch or you gave him something to "wrap"?
His name is Fernando he will build the whole thing and cover it here’s his number. (818) 430-6659 He is very well known in the FERRARI community his work is impeccable if you like you can tell them that you got the number from bill I gave you his cell number
