1. No rubber mat bits anywhere on there apart from the insert that covers the hole for the armrest

2. The cupholders are designed to replace the in-dash versions which are a PITA if you have a headunit there. I don't think there is any replacement for the back holder, it doesn't show any alternative on ETKA anyway

Looks a great mod, never seen this before.
To be fair it makes sense to have cup-holders relocated to the centre console as above the head-unit aint good.
Lets face it if you use the normal cup-holders you are always running the risk of splashing contents onto the ashtray.

Oh dear.. the previous owner of mine spilt coke hence why the cig lighter was broke. Now i have a microfiber cloth over mine granted its not OEM+ but when you use the car daily having a take out coffee i don't want to risk fubaring the ashtray again.
