cup holders?? where do you guys balance your drinks..

[kangman]

is there a place to balance a drink when you drive? i can only buy bottles of fizzy lucozade as they fit in the doorcard pocket.

are there any off the shelf products that look oem inside an E30, Or is there a simple DIY cup holder.

Please post any pics of your cup holders for inspiration

Legs/knees

you can jam a can of coke under the cubby/well heater controls...!!

I might actually install something in the cassette holder:



Should be able to bodge something up that could hold drinks in that gap....but I have other plans for it to be honest.

Unfortunately I don't have doorcard pocket......



contemplating on fitting a e46 armrest with cup holder something along the lines of this





but if I do change to that I need to relocate my heated seat switches and switch able auto switch!



might just nick the cup holders from the Mrs golf and fit it into the dash

I guess I could rob the pop-out cup holder from my Mondeo and gaffatape it into the cubby hole below the heater controls...

^This is what I do. Actually works quite well. Not so helpful for cans of Red Bull however owing to the different shaped can.

[Mo13]

Thinking about it there is no other space for it other than the hole below the heater controls

Husco centre armrests have 2 cupholders built in.

There was a guy on here (Cant find the thread though) That used the cup holder from a Audi I think and modified it to sit under the heater/stereo fascia bit and it pop out with 2 holders. Was very cool

Bottles on passenger seat, standard cans under the heater controls. Simple. No bodgery required.

someone on here modified the centre console slightly to accept a vw passat slide out to the side type double cup holder and it looked a 'proper job' .

anyone else remember that or even got a link to it ?

i don't have time to l@@k right now .

I used to know a girl that could hold a can of beer between them. I still don't know why I didn't marry her....

[Rich320I]

yeah i knew a girl that could hold a fag packet under each one, i know why i didnt marry her

[batleyrhino]

Is it;

a) that you don't smoke,

or

b) that they were trapped between her tit and her knee

That passat one looks good. The cheapest on the bay is about £15 from what I just saw. I bet everyone's gonnna be looking for them now!! I know I will be!

[Grrrmachine]

There's about 10 English ones available over here, to save you lot bidding against eachother

[kangman]

how easy is it to make that plate for the passat cup holders??

[snakebrain]

You get little clip-on ones that hang over the side of the door pocket, so it can live in your glove box when you're not using it.

Mye28 has a few threads on putting them in E28s that would be useful if you want to make/buy them. There are lots of retrofit ones available. There's also a proper comedy thread on there where a guy made a horrible duct tape bodge job then posted up lots of pics and comments about the engineering process he'd employed...
