Sliding Cup Holder Cover
« on: 09 January 2009, 13:33 »
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?

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:

My 06 has it and I believe it came with all cars with the centre arm rest.

Again from looking online the late cars all appear to have the arm rest (perhaps standard by then?), but still no cup holder cover.

any pictures? the cup holders on my 08 gti are by the handbrake and you have to use that silly bottle opener thingy to make the cups stay in position. Wish gti's had cup holders similar to those found in the A3.

Mine are just boring normal cup holders which are SH!TE compared to the mk4 ones - 06 plate. There's a little voice at the back of my head telling me its something to do with a luxury pack, smokers pack maybe that determined the cupholder style.
