Title: Mk5 GTi Cup Holder - what's it supposed to look like?
Post by: cpk on 19 June 2012, 14:57

Hi there,

Can someone post a picture of the centre cup holder on their (or any!) Mk5 GTi please?  I need a shot with the sliding cover open.  I've recently got a Mk5 and it's just got a scruffy looking hole there with a rusty screw.  I've figured out I need the bottle opener/divider, but what else?  Probably rubber mats, but will I need some sort of plastic insert?  And anyone where I can get what I might need? 

(I'm new here so apologies if this is the wrong place for this.)

Thanks in advance.

This is roughly what it looks like (this a US one).

The UK one is flat and doesnt have the dip but you get the idea.

Thanks!  I'm a bit surprised there's no rubber mats in there.  Just looks wrong somehow.

There is a rubber mat. Mine one does anyway. I forgot because I have a memory like a fish. Ill try and remember to get one up later tonight.

...........you shure?. Both my GTI's have had the factory centre consol & both had the slight dip/rubber mat.

I've ordered what I hope is the right mat to fill the hole: 1K0863301B71N.  I think I still need something to go round the bottle opener cut out though.  I just have the nasty looking smooth plastic there right now.  I've not been able to find a part number for that though.

Thanks again for your help.

..........can't help with the part number mate but ''yes'' there is a rubber mate that sits in the bottle opener shape.
You got a bottle opener?.Loads on ebay if you need one & try & get the earlier all alloy one,looks much better than the cheaper plastic covered version. :wink:
