I wanted to custom fit Mk4 ones into my dash, where the heated rear screen switch is, but I've lost all interest in my car

Yeah, They are in the glove box. Useless though. You cant drive with a cup in them.

My mate thought it would be a good idea to put a can of red bull in the shallow CUP holders, to no suprise. The red bull went everywhere when I turned a corner  :cry:

I bought it from these guys.
