Yay they fit.. first time :)
Might need silicone or hot glue to stop any rattling about though.

With clear lacquer, they would also allow an led to shine through.

Is that a self-made replacement for part #51718233416?

Yes it is supposed to be.
And this (with a bit of cleaning up) will be a cupholder plate when I get the dimensions right for the pins on the back.

Are these rare to buy OEM? Just seems a lot of work if not. I like the cup holder plate idea though.
Just my thoughts btw

No worries, have 3d-printer will print, and to be honest after springing £23 each for new bumper brackets and £43 each (+shipping from Lithania) for cupholders, 16 quid each for the cover plates was a bridge too far.

Plus I was thinking about dropping lights in the doors at some point, if I can face the thought of dismantling the doors again.

Ah. Now it all makes sense. I know 3D printers are pricey to buy, but what's the cost per unit roughly?

Apart from the electricity, a few pence in filament cost. In the cup holder face plate case 10p.

I must have the wrong part number then, as they're less than £2 each.
