The bottle openers only came with cars with the arm rest option. There are two type of bottle opener. The early versions are all metal, the later ones are wrapped in plastic.

Got one but its the new style as the previous owner had liberatated the original all metal one.  Made sure the dealer replaced it before I drove off....

I wish the biggest worry i have with my car was if it has a bottle opener or not!

Got a plastic one off e bay for a fiver.
Don't really think its the best thing though, encouraging owners to open a cold one whilst in the car

Picked my new one up today, all metal with the VW logo stamped in the middle, only bought it to complete the cup holder function..

£15 + Vat though  :cry:  If i'd realised it was that much i'd have jammed the cup between my leg's instead!!!!

Just ordered a cheapy of ebay but its the newer type which is plastic coated.  Hopefully it will look ok.  I too just wanted it to I could use the cup holders.

My '06 plate didn't have one in it when I collected from the dealer (forgot to ask them to put on in it). Luckily, I used to work for VW and I already had one of the metal ones 'in stock' so to speak.

Bit pointless though, when was the last time you bought a non-alcholic drink that had a metal cap on it?
