Retrofit cupholders

Oooh, you've got a bit of nasty scratching by your rubber grommet!

I just bought spare grommets at the same time and then removed the original with a pair of tweezers.
 
I'm missing a grommet... where did you get them from?

Must be one of the easiest 'mods' to do :)
 
Yeah :( Although you really can't see it when they're back in place (trusty macro lens bought it up nicely though). Tweezers are a great idea in hindsight!!
 
Having just fitted mine this morning, I wish I'd read this better first and ordered the rubber grommets at the same time as the cupholders. They were hard to get off without damaging them so will be ordering some replacements soon. I used jamesdeans guide and it was very helpful - thanks!
 
Why would anyone want to install these useless cupholders. All North American Z4s are equipped with cupholders. Maybe we should organize a cupholder exchange program between the Colonies and GB. You send us your blanking plates and we'll send you our useless cupholders :thumbsup:

How about we send you European-sized beverage receptacles to replace the gallon buckets you seem to use for coffee :P

I just fitted my driver's-side cup-holder without any problems yesterday evening, following the instructions linked above. Only took 10 minutes, even though I had to contend with my 3-year old son sitting next to me "borrowing" my screwdrivers! :D

This morning, it held tight to a large McD's coffee through some spirited cornering and acceleration on the way to work!
