That seller will apparently only ship to UK.  I need it in Ireland!  I might see if I can find one of the cooler looking metal ones anyway.

I prefer the plastic ones - matches the car interior better ;)

Anybody know when they switched from the metal to plastic ones?  Trying to figure out what should be in my car - it's a 2006 model.

Yeah, there should be a rubber mat with a moulded space to hold the bottle opener when it's not in place forming the cupholders.  At least I think that's the idea - don't have a bottle opener myself!

Is the all-metal opener the same size and all that as the newer plastic one?  Will it fit correctly if my car was supposed to have the plastic one?
