Default D2 rear centre arm-rest through load

Still looking for a '02 D2 S8... When / if I eventually find a suitable car, one option I really want (which I had on my D2 '99 4.2 QS back in 2002) is a rear centre armrest that allows through load access, think it was called a 'ski bag'.

How common is this option on D2's? If a car doesn't have it, is it an easy mod, or would the complete rear seat require replacing?

Thanks!

dead easy retrofit. The cut out is already premarked behind the carpet in the boot. A8Parts will probably have one for you - I got mine through them. (I have a 2002 S8). Just remove the rear seat back.

Hi
I've got one fitted to my D2pf 1997 and my wife really wants a fridge for the G&T. Who's got a fridge?

The D2 fridges are ultra rare...in fact, i don't think anyone on this forum has seen one in the flesh. I did spot one on Autotrader a while back here:

Does it have to be genuine? Have a look at Mini Coolers.co.uk they have a few small coolers that you might be able to custom fit. Some are coolers / warmers so you can keep a pasty warm if you got no G&T to keep cool.
