anyone know a good cup holder for the coupe? i know you can get after market ones but i am reluctant to stuck or drill to my dash so i would like a vent clip in jobbie, anyone have one? are they any good ?

thanks

I have one whichs is ace, bit of bend round shaped plastic that slides down the gap between the glass seal and window and holds all maccies cups very well and coke cans and guinnes cans(i wasnt drinking it!) and a good few larger water vessels/bottles

Drinks in a Coupe! Are you crazy . Next you'll be saying that you'd let the pet dog on the seats or worse still KIDS .

LOL i always, Always have a bottle of water in the cubby hole behind the handbrake. on long journies i use my camel back over the headrest and the water bottle

Yes ditto.. You will find that square based water bottles are a perfect fit there..

Why on earth would anyone want a cup holder in any car? I really dont get it.... what's wrong with a bottle and a with a click up cap?

The reason i cant stop for a drink everytime i need one is i would be forever stopping, and waste extra fuel

The camel back holds 1.5litres of what ever i want and i can chuck some ice in there for the summer months and it keeps a drink ice cold for about 2.5hrs and means i dont have to take my hands off the wheel to havea drink from it. Kinda similar to what u can sometimes see F1 drivers using while on the line before everyone scarppers

WTF? Ever thought of rigging up an intra veinous drip? What happens when you need to stop for a P*ss every hour from all those fluids...my next mod will be an external urine swirl pot - will start a poll on another thread immediately for a possible group buy

LOL @ Suba,

I can usually hold it in for a fair bit longer than that to make the most of the stops anyway
I cant stay sat down too long anyway in any car unless i fall asleep as i get massive pains in my right thigh and need to stretch it off in order t get rid of it and cant stretch off muscles in the coop while driving

....and a hat with some kind of spirit level in it that activates a small rubber mallet when your head starts to loll about - a short, sharp tap on the noggin should be sufficient to wake you up.

Not sure what to do about your leg - but we have a good base to start a coop survival kit with already.

I have something from V.A.G attached to the centerconsole. Don't really know how to buy it, it's done by the previous owner. I really like it; I like coffee and I drive far.

(beside the gearshift)

that looks pretty cool per, and i am lovin those seats shame they are not leather but i bet they are comfy. is there any make or model number on the cup holder? someing there would be ideal for me and that looks very discreat.

the reason i want a cup holder is to hold drinks in...ok lets say you went to kfc drive thru and you get a meal you get a bag with the chicken/chips and u get a stupid cardboard square thing with the drink in it, where does that go?? i have to put it on the passenger seat and then i worry when i go round every corner that it will tip over (which it would if i dident keep grabbing it) so it would be handy to have a cup holder i can just shove it in and forget about it.

plus i have one of those alu coffee mugs which i take to work in a morning (sat in 30min of traffic EVERY DAY!) so i drink a coffee on the way to work lickily the alu cup has a little hole at the top to drink from so as yet i have never spilt any but it has been close a few times :P

Kingpleb do you have any pics of your cup holder? where did you get it from?

thanks

ohh and as a rule there is no food in my car and no drinks withut lids no pets of course and any muddy shoes go in the boot before you get into the car, lol my interior is mint and i intend to keep it that way :P

Ill get one tonight for you Bahney and i think i have a spare one kicking around but i cant remember where i got it from, could have been asda or betterware possibly??

A Camel back is like a big bag and flexible pipe from it with a nipple on it you squeeze and suck the juice out of.

Cant be anything fizzy and if strong flavoured needs to be cleaned after use or can go funny inside....

Most outdoor and bike shops have them. vary from 1-2.5litres i think. I paid £10 for mine in the sale

I have one of those really cheap stick on foam ones (say pepsi on them) that I've cut up and put into the cubbyhole at the back of the centre console. Works really well and is not really visible to anyone

Correct, or fake-suede! (Alcantara)
They are from a Lancia Delta HPE '96. A lot better at holding my rumpie than the leather std's..
The mounts are not the same, so I had to use the mounts from the std. seats.
On the driver's side though, the seat is height-adjustable, which builds on the height. Even in lowest pos it's high. So I could not use the std. mountings, but made new rear mounts and bolted the 2 front mounts directly to the floor. Works great now!

Favourite part of 'Bad Boys 1' is when Will Smith is telling Martin Lawrence about his Limited Edition Porshe (sp)

"Damn right its limited, no cup holder and only 2 seats"

Per

I can't figure out how the cup holder works - does it swing up and out?

Yes, or rather down and up! The bottom swings down, the insert inside swings up. Rubber bottom + "claws", quite nicely made.
Not sure but maybe VW or VAG still have them...
