Center Armrest Lid With Base Plate, For A3 8P / A5 2003-2013, Oe: 8P0864245P

The lid on an 8P centre console is the first piece of trim to go. Years of an elbow on it, plus Australian sun through the side glass, and the padding splits along the front edge. Replacing the whole console is not the fix — this is the lid and its base plate on their own.

Match the number, not the badge

This is an aftermarket replacement, not a genuine part. The supplier gives three references for cross-matching: interchange number 8P0864245P, manufacturer number 8P0864245 and replacement number 8P0864245S1BF. It also warns that the last four characters vary with material and colour, so a character-for-character match to your old lid is unlikely and not required. What matters is that the base plate profile and the 25 x 12 cm lid footprint line up with the console you are pulling the old one out of. Read the number off your existing lid and compare it against the photos before ordering.

Goes on without drilling

The lid mounts to the existing console points, so nothing is cut or drilled. The base plate is moulded ABS and carries the hinge and latch loads the way the original carrier did, which is why buying lid and plate together beats stretching a new cover over a cracked plate. Padding under the cover is soft enough to be worth resting an arm on. It is a hand-tools job for most owners, though a worn hinge pin will want attention at the same time.
