I'm looking for cup holders, the only thing I can come up with is the "Ultimate cup holder". Also up to making my own. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks , Mike.

Mine doesn’t have cup holders, we’re they optional items?

There are just blanking covers under the air vents.

Yes, optional. They are easy to fit and and a cost effective way to elevate your car from poverty spec (or just no cup holders). Not everyone is a fan though.

Yup, wifey's was like that. She NEEDED them ASAP.
I got the Amazon copies. Ten minutes per side to fit. Work perfectly.
Apart from me showing how they work, not been used in 6 months! :roll:

Thank you for the feedback, there is a company in the US called the ultimate cup holder. Made of SS, unbreakable and very popular. I think the holders in the car are a little to fragile for me and won't hold a bottle, that's why I don't use them. I don't usually drink anything while driving, but going on a long drive and might want a drink. Always liked this forum.
Thanks again, Mike.

I considered retrofitting cup holders... but then realised it would likely just end up with my SO spilling a coffee or something in the car :?
