I recommend using MK4/Sharan/Galaxy ones, not too thin and can be used individually, they also have a connector on the back which powers an LED for night time use  :cool:

Maybe not as 'easy' an install, but they probably fit in with the MK2 a bit better than the Jap or Ford ones.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I was under the impression the MK4 had the same cup holders as a Sharan, I read it some where :undecided:
On the Shaza the cup symbol has an LED behind it, can't find decent pics of it.

You can see them just next to the Emerhecy switch on the dash above the radio.
