2 things .....1 Wazzer i guess this wont come with the rubber mat insert things presuming they have them !

2 it has 3 fooking cup holders !!! Is the rear cup holder interchangeable with our ashtray ?
Title: Re: Just taken the plunge - bought a US centre console!
Post by: Wazzzer on 13 August 2012, 15:36
1. No rubber mat bits anywhere on there apart from the insert that covers the hole for the armrest

2. The cupholders are designed to replace the in-dash versions which are a PITA if you have a headunit there. I don't think there is any replacement for the back holder, it doesn't show any alternative on ETKA anyway

Post by: dasan on 13 August 2012, 15:41
Looks a great mod, never seen this before.
To be fair it makes sense to have cup-holders relocated to the centre console as above the head-unit aint good.
Lets face it if you use the normal cup-holders you are always running the risk of splashing contents onto the ashtray.

Oh dear.. the previous owner of mine spilt coke hence why the cig lighter was broke. Now i have a microfiber cloth over mine granted its not OEM+ but when you use the car daily having a take out coffee i don't want to risk fubaring the ashtray again.

Post by: AD1.8T on 14 August 2012, 15:47
To be fair i dont see how drinks can get knocked in the us console .... Most things i have in my car are bottles so they would be fine and i highly doubt you can knock over a can of coke ect
