Retrofitted cupholder

Probably been covered before but I thought I'd post this up for info. Also gave me a chance to practice uploading photo's, so fingers crossed they come out alright. I was having a much overdue tidy up in the garage the other day and came across an old cupholder I had left over from my previous...

Hey bud,

I bought the USA midconsole (8P1863241 6PS), they have the cupholders in a waaaaaaaay more convenient way than the European one (Let the sizes of the average American speak for itself lol ). Also the US midconsole has an AUX and 2 12V sockets, very convenient

Top: EU midconsole
Bottom: US midconsole

Totally agree. They are rubbish. There are no ideal spots, but I have seen this being sold on ebay.uk. A 3d printed holder that sits into the centre console as is. Worth a try?

I'm Dutch and bought them at my local scrapyard. Well, it's not really a scrapyard but it's a company specialized in stripping down new and used cars and selling them in parts. Check it out; https://bm-parts.nl cheap prices for new and used retrofit parts, they have quite a lot (you can change langauge in the top right corner).

They ship worldwide I already made some other members on this forum quite happy passing the website through
