Facelift Replacing Center Armrest's Leather

[SleAze]

Hey, im interested in purchasing the leather part of the armrest with red stitching like this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Audi-A3-8V...rmrest-8V0864207ERVI-NEW-GENUINE/382796026729

My car does come with an armrest, but without red stitching (yes I know i'm insane for wasting money just for that haha)

My question is, someone knows how to replace that part \ how does it come apart? I didn't find any clue whatsoever online..
Thanks!

I tried googling it again but the only thing I found was 8P related which isn't helpful as it's a completely different armrest

Looking at the exploded diagram it looks like it's clipped in place:

Hi, hope this helps The torque settings for the cover are #6 on the Overview, only 3NM so just do them up so it feels tight and solid, job done
