RE: center armrest delete
I think pre 99or pre 98 A4's dont have one. I love my arm rest, but I guess I could live without it. Have you tried angleing it down more in a lower position? I have tip, so there is nothing in the way of shifting gears. I have driven acetrebo and arif's car (97 and 98.5 mt) and i dont even think i missed it. If I was shifting gears I can see how it might get in the way. Im sure you could figure out how to remove it.
