No, just '91 '92 I think. '93 had the centre console with the detachable armrest, but there are still a few questions regarding that one.

it may be just a case that when they did the custom work inside on the doorcards, the insert on the drivers side they swapped for a facelift one (as this had no hole for the switch) didn't want to cut one ;)
and the wires may just be left in there :P

facelift console as Pushki pic above and pre-facelift console has the handbrake in different place and the cutout,

Just FYI, mine is an 'L' and I think its early '94 from memory, and it's the pre-facelift setup, i.e. sexblocker.

i think the whole sexblocker arguement is mute :o

i think again at time of purchase they may have had a choice and since then all owners have changed them for their own taste.
i have a pre-facelift sexblocker in the shed if someone wants it as i hate it :P
but the short one with no arm rest came in mine a 1992 and the removable armrest/cupholder bit came from a early 1994 2.2 vtec auto in the scrap yard :P

Hi and welcome to the forum. Whereabouts in the South West are you based?

As for the mirror switch. It would be obvious if you had it, looking at the pic I can only assume that is a full cream leather retrim. I reckon someone removed the switch from the door card pocket and retrimmed over it. If that's the case, the wiring should be there, just find a new switch, cut out the hole in the door card insert and pop in the switch.

Unless you are just blind of course! :lol:
