Styling Useless cup holders, any ideas?

[wlk]

Has anybody had a go at modifying the GP cup holders? fed up of picking up a drive through and having nowhere for my drink. The front too are simply useless but I am thinking the rear one must be moddable so it can actually hold a drink without it falling over round a corner.

The best cup holder I have used is the Audi. Just pops out of the centre console and adapts to the size of the bottle/can. There could so easily be a similar thing in the GP where the central bit of plastic above the climate control sits but oh well.

Haha! Do you also drive a pick up, watch nfl in your spare time and have frequent relationships with your relatives

On a serious note, the grandes cup holders shouldn't even be called that, they are useless. I like the flip out ones in the polo.

They are pretty poor!! I think a small drink just fits in at an angle.

I use mine to keep coins, chewing gum and a house key.

get an automatic, can hold you cup in gear change hand then

 

[flint]

the one behind the handbrake is the exact size for a maccy dees large coffee (paper) cup. i therefore deduce the front cup holders are indeed meant for mobiles / chewy / parking change / tins of pop that have the tops cut of, or jaw breaker gob stoppers.

Ive got to say they are so useless, the ones in the mk2 were alot better (as long as you had 2 cans or something to wedge it so it doesnt fall over) the best cup holders are in my gfs 04 plate rover 25 there in the door & hold a relentless, monster or for you drink drives out there a beer can very snuggly.

I use mine for specc case (at an angle, even this doesn't fit!), house keys, and the 5p off per litre receipt you get at TESCO if you spend over £50.

Just buy a large drink from mcdonalds, fits in the cup holders fine then.

Just been for a McDonalds and your right about the large drinks fitting perfectly in the back, that is the first thing I have found that does. I usually order coffee and that just falls over

 

[punto_matt]

They fit in the front ones fine too

Mine holds my wallet and mobile, back one has the sat nav in it when I don't need it.

front mobile or monster can quiet easily rear one for mcd's drinks only, my golf has much better cup holders, two in dash and two in centre console for rear, tuck away and hold anything! also a decent sized glovebox which the grande is lacking.

Glovebox on the gp is crap, barely holds the service book etc.
