Nah, they are pretty cheap on eBay. I checked before I bought my car, just in case! However, my car came with one anyway. Wont use it TBH, but its useful to have for the cup holders etc.

You could pop by your local dealer and order one there, i dont think they cost much, I have heard of people 'borrowing' them from showroom cars too though obviously wouldnt advocate this!

When I got my car I thought sumin was missing/ outta place, only when I asked my dealer a while after I bought it what was supposed to go there, she said a bottle opener (obviously mine was missing), so she went out back and got me a new one at no charge!! :smiley: :smiley:

Do people have the plastic one or the all metal one?  I've seen both on ebay.  I think the plastic ones came with newer cars - I guess they're cheaper.  The all-metal one looks cool though.  Might see if I can get one of them.

Mine is plastic, with metal parts in where the bottle is opened etc.
Didnt realise there was an all metal one......
