Just tried too dark even with the interior lights on...iphone fail...will post one up tomorrow...is the beefed up wheel not standard either? Just assumed they made changes since the 95 model

I pondered on attempting to fit a set of these last year whilst rooting around at my local breakers, unfortunately That idea got ditched after discovering a US spec cupholder center console on fleabay instead.

piccys??

I didn't bother with the front cupholders as they only fit the US left hand drive front console correctly but i have one of these rear centre console flip up lid units with pop out drinks holder and integrated boot release button.

I like the rear trim with the boot release. Gotta find one now.

I have yet to see the point of cup holders or indeed any that hold a cup securely.  :smiley:

Erm...so the open drink doesnt spill whilst driving, i also have a son that sits in the rear so the US spec one was ideal. Plus ive got the extra storage cubby hole for bits and pieces.

i have a funky black and chrome cup holder my 4 year old son bought me for my birthday as he always heard my moaning about not having one in the car.

it connects to the air vent on the very right hand side of car and holds all size of cans including redbull sizes perfect.
only cost £3  :laugh:
