Possibly looking at a tired e86. Are cup holders readily available and easy to replace? These ones seem to be stuck in. Also are the white front reflectors available? One is missing and the only set I have found so far is £200 on ebay. Thanks, Craig
 
Welcome to the forum Craig,

I believe the cup-holders are available. Some members have acquired sets through Ali Express and the quality seems OK to good. OE items also come up from time to time on the forum marketplace, so it's unlikely you will find yourself in a situation where they are impossible to replace.

I'm not sure about the reflectors, but it is common occurrence on here that a member would be breaking a car, and the part would be available via that route.

Good luck with your search - if you want an opinion on the car(s) that you are viewing (might have passed through members hands at some point), post up here and folks are usually happy to give you their 2 cents.
 
Cupholders are readily available, both OEM from breakers, and new copies which are OK.

Reflectors are harder to get hold of and there don’t seem to be copies available. They do deteriorate and front bumpers are worth less without them, so they don’t tend to be available separately.
 
An Alternative for the Reflectors is to cover them in good quality Reflective Tape .
 
thanks, it’s the sub £4k one mentioned in the sales section. I went to see it last week and was initially out off by how tatty it was but I think for the right price and even adding a £1.6k wrap it may be worth another look. Battling to find anything that is not miles away for my £7kish budget.

I bought secondhand OEM cupholders from a guy on a facebook group and both were broken when I got them :x

Went for some aftermarket ones from Amazon and found them to be decent quality, fit perfect and I wouldn’t know the difference from OEM :thumbsup:
