Its on my 05 which also has Aluminium cigarette lighter cover which looks better than the current black plastic ones, there has to be some benefit to having an older one!  :smiley:
they seem to not have them on 56 reg's for some reason, mines a 58 reg and its got a silver spun style center console

Whilst trawling through the Mk5's currently for sale online I noticed for the first time that the sliding cup holder cover is not fitted on all cars.  My 55 R32 had one and I'd assumed until today all Mk5s came with one as they do really tidy that part of the interior.

Is it simply a cost cutting measure from VW? Is there a MY when the cover stopped?
he is on about cars that dont have center armrest, you get silding cup holder cover with armrest

I've got a sliding cover. 57-plate.

It's a bit too shallow for my liking. Keep getting paranoid about red bull spilling everywhere, which is why I've switched to Lucozade Active. It has a lid.

The best cup holder I ever saw was in a Saab at a motorshow back in the early 90s. The action was sooo smooth, even to this day I haven't seen a cup-holder that works that smoothly.

The sliding covered cup holders are only present on those cars ordered with the arm rest.  Arm rests were not standard fitment on any MK5 other than the GTi Pirelli.  The arm rest in my 08 Edition 30 was either £90 or £120 - can't remember how much off the top of my head.
