Cheers buddy, I know about that armrest, but I I'm doing this for cupholder :D it's hot outside and iwe got nowhere to put my beer while driving :D

And thanks for link ;)
Well for me the hardest would be handbrake cables, cause some people say it can be done with pre facelift cables and some say i need facelift ones :( but I will try first with pre facelift ones :))

The picture you are showing is a LHD car. I suppose you have a RHD car, so the e-brake should be on the other side...
Perhaps you should also fit your console, then you can confirm if the e-brake is positioned in the right way.

That's a proper ghetto bodge Deniss. You could relocate the lever if it's mounted securely and then extend/shorten the cable to suit, but they've just been down right lazy with that linkage :roll:

For one that turn buckle should have locking-nuts on it, and two, the linkage on the left... Is just nasty :facepalm:

So are you planning to use a left hand handrake on the right hand side?
