I did a search on this but nothing really came back. One of the things that can be a bit of a niggle when you take the 8P on a road trip is the lack of 2 cup holders. So I was wondering if any one had ever found an easy way to add an aditional one to the car? Or would the most practical way be to just get one of those cheap and cheerful stick on ones?  :lol:

Seb.

You could retrofit one in the blank space to the right of the hazard warning light switch item 20.

Both Jay & myself have retrofitted the card hold tray as on other models.

Be warned the reason the cup hold is not fitted on models with Satnav is due to accidental spillage into the head unit.

Or retrofit the US style centre trim which gives you 2 holders in the centre compartment. Does require a bit of DIY a3dddf24459bf5ab252558a3bee42af1.jpg

Ah yeah, that would be a disaster getting your head unit full of coffee. Haha.

 

How much work is it to fit the card holder / drink holder parts? Do the bits in the centre console just pop out from the back?
