I took mine out of the car as it annoys the **** out of me when it is in. The pens and remote that I have rattle against it when it is there :angry:

Got the metal one in there, it clearly has never been used to open a bottle.
Makes a quirky cup holder though, another bit of added character the Golf has over other VAG cars?

It'll be handy when camping to open the bottles of wife-beater, I mean Stella. :drool:

Without the Bottle Opener there's no effective cup holder  :grin:

WITH the bottle opener there's still no effective cup holder either :grin:

I've used mine when camping at Inters and other shows.  I was on my way to Inters this year and had a sinking feeling in my stomach when I realised I'd not packed one.....then remembered that there's always one in the car! :cool:

I bought my car new and it was the first thing I checked when the car got handed over to me!

The Mk 4 cupholders that popped out of the dash were better though.  I find the Mk 5 cupholders don't hold anything bigger than a 330ml can without it toppling over :angry: (I usually buy a 500ml bottle).

quite surprised really - mine's on 05, and STILL has the metal opener.  :shocked:

Only used it once so far, but prefer the look over the plastic (coated) version.
