Title: MK5 front Cup Holder
Post by: funkythumbs42 on 10 December 2009, 11:32

Ive got the bit under the handbrake where the vw bottle opener is meant to go.

is this interchangable with a cup holder part as I would prefer somewhere to put my bottle of water etc when im driving

anywhere online i could get the part?

I have two cupholders there, I'm sure you can swap it out. Will probably have to remove all the trim surrounding that area though.

Are you talking baout obtaining the bottle opener that doubles as up as the cup holder?  If so you can pick one up off ebay for less than a fiver.

I don't really get the point of this. How often would you honestly use it?  :undecided:
