Apart from the lifehammer, i don't really see the point of what you've done, just put your shades where they are supposed to go in the overhead storage box and put your drink in the cupholder where you've put your shades, or am i missing something??? :huh:

There is no point .......I just solved a few minor irritations for myself  I had for 4 years in the MK V that is all....and just for a couple of euro's.... :wink:

Maybe we pick up a trick or two from this thread...that's all..

Nope...this is the most simplest mod...you buy a luxury sofgrip lifehammer for 5 euro more then the orange one....also approved by the "Deutsche Verkehrswacht"
and "European Safety Approvals" and Veilig Verkeer" and "GS".......you can even click it in the same holder......o and at Halfords  :wink:

Oki doke, perhaps put some of that carbon fibre stuff thats under your seat inserts between the cork and none slip stuff to cover the brown colour?
