Cup Holder Mod.

[immx]

Ok don't all take the pi$$ but I really miss a descent cup holder in the mig..... (waits for the laughing to stop)

So I fitted one and I thought I'd show you to see what you think, although after the foot well light someone else was talking about I'm not sure I want to ask!!!

with it open


As you can see it's fitted to the underside of the armrest!

Ok let the abuse commence!

I think its just what mine needs Im forever having cans of drink in the car and I wedge them in the door pocket thingy :-/ the red ball cans fit ok but the coke cans are a bit tight and I have lost count of how many times Ive ended up with a wet lap after pulling it out too hard

Pics could be a bit bigger ( better to look at )
Doesnt look to bad, handy if you do a lot of long trips,

definetly one of my main gripe with the omega interior is the lack of cup holder!

looks good. Like it. Just dont tip the arm rest up with drinks in it. Sort of blocks the hand brake though.

But do you not have the rubber drink holder insert under the arm rest? Only a single though.

I found the rubber one is too far back and you have to have the armrest up for that plus as you said theres only one there. As for the handbrake I've got auto drivers disease and have fogotten what it's for!!!

Yep, but it's an auto so you can get away without using a handbrake when stopping for a cuppa and if you are driving then you don't need it anyway.
Looks good to me......

Mark will be after you, use it or loose it and all that.
must say i think vx could have done a bit more with that area.


So does it fit easily, couple of screw holes under there? Trying to remember... :-/

In thirty years of driving I've never had need of a cup holder.

Sorry about that, just my sense of humour.

Good job on the cup holder

Any chance of you putting it in the 'How To' section with details of where you sourced the cupholder?

Yea I can do a how to if you're intrested, but for now the cup holder is a mk4 golf or bora REAR cup holder like this one

I paid about £15 for it on eBay.
