I BOUGHT A XANTIA WHERE SOMEONE HAD PUT A STORAGE BIN IN THE CENTRE WHICH OPENS UP AND DOUBLES AS AN ARMREST.
O.K. IT COVERS THE REAR WINDOW SWITCHES BUT I HAD YOUNG KIDS AND IT STOPPED THEM MESSING.
IF YOU WANT FOLD DOWN ONES I DON'T KNOW IF ITS POSS. AS THE ACTIVAS SEAT WINGS MOVE IN AND OUT AND MIGHT OBSTRUCT IT

I enquired about doing this a few years ago, the armrest itself costs about £75 new.
By fitting it you would lose lumber support adjustment, though I never managed to find out whether it was possible, (seat frame differences etc).
In the end I fitted leather electric seats because they come with the armrest as standard.
