Mk3 Cup Holder (US Spec)
« on: 19 October 2010, 14:32 »
Hi Everyone

I managed to get my grubby mits on a US Spec VW Cupholder for the Mk3.

Where the hell does it fit? :laugh:

currently it is sitting in the centre console, it doesnt look out of place but im not sure if thats where its meant to go????




anyone else got one?   I will grab some pics when i finish work and post them up.


thanks in advance.

It's made for a left hand drive where the dash is the other way around and that cubby hole is facing the opposite way for the cup holder to fit perfect. I heard you can trim it somehow to get it to fit snuggly.
