Cup Holders :)

[vanilla]

So are they only useful for cold/bottled drinks and not hot tea in takeaway cups etc, unless driving slowly?

They are fine for everything. Mine have never spilt anything. Dont know why many people moan about them.

 

[vanilla]

Thanks, is it easy to take cups out and put back quickly at traffic lights etc?

I'm sure they would be fine for cups,,, just mostly I have a cold can drink in mine never any problems spilling.

Holds a can of coke well! Thinking of buying loads of different drinks etc and just starting a thread with pictures of them in the cup holder or is that abit sad? lol

Clarksons view

.......and the cupholders are designed for huge styrofoam buckets of coffee beloved by cops on stake-outs. If you put a normal can of cola in one, it falls over and you get a sticky knee.

If Clarkson hates them, I want them even more.

Holds a red bull well

If I were to buy a set of these without the face plate, could I attach the old faceplate (without the cupholder "logo")?

I daren't use mine. If I had a drink on a journey I'd be wanting to stop for a wee where there's no toilets :lol:

 

[Eviltad]

Buying a coffee for me and the GF is the worst case scenario with my cupholders. Both cups will leak over bumps and wheilst I can't react, the GF will start panicking about the dribble and still do nothing.

I think next to the cupholder it would be useful to have a wetwipe holder to clean up the mess.

Sealed bottles of water, of 500ml or less (assuming you have drunk some) are normally fine however.

We have cup holders - Not allowed food or drink near the precious (and to be fair - LSB) interior! :telloff:

No the blanks won't fit on them

 

[Wa'ya]

Only time I've had a spill is when I've nicked them with my knee getting in or out.

Same here, from protein shakers to cans of red bull, maybe it's down to how the car is driven
