Has anyone come up with a 'cup holder solution'

[jesus]

...on the MK2s?

One that can be a permanent fixture and doesn't look absolutely s**t too.

 

[MrDave]

My thighs.

 

[fairm010]

I use the rear ones, obviously not while driving. Obviously the only thing the designers had in France at the time were 330ml cans!

 

[fixedgear]

Of Perrier

+1 sick of my strongbow cans tipping up!

They are such a s**t design, I use them as a loose change compartment now ive given up.

 

[jesus]

I'm on about coffee or a takeaway drink on the go. A Maccies with a straw in has no chance of even fitting in

 

[Goodj]

The Ph.2 holders are so rubbish.

Can't even get a small take-out coffee in them without chucking half of it in a footwell or all over the shift-gaiter.

Some cars have moulded cup-holders inside the glove box, but they act more like a tray than a holder, not ideal if you like.....steering. at all.

It'd look gash but I suppose the #1 alternative is a vent-mounted holder, the kind of thing you get from a garage for a fiver if you buy fuel. The best bit of them being that they are removeable

A guy on Rallye Register years ago managed to retrofit an audi cup holder mech into his dash..



No reason something similar couldn't be done on a Clio somewhere.

That is fckin great. Now you've got me wondering how...

With working regular nights I sometimes like to take an energy drink and drink it on the way to work if I havnt had enough kip, I have to take a straw tho to drink the rest out of my dash.

One of those or similar.

Maybe cruise control panel on the right?

Cut into a dash strip maybe?

Into the Hazard panel?

 

[Panda]

Could possibly be retrofitted just under the aircon controls if theres room ?

 

[fairm010]

Or that pointless little cubby under the cc panel? Maybe a bit too low though.

 

[Panda]

I got it wrong i ment under stereo.

 

[jesus]

That's a decent job on the Pug! I was thinking along the lines of modding one of the dash strips maybe and fitting something like that Audi one in the video, or perhaps something near the handbrake (behind the plastic cover/surround thing for the mech) as in - in the middle of the rear passengers' footwell on that raised bit.

But I'm useless and need someone else to invent it!

 

[LeeRS]

Would be interested in this too.
Nothing fits in the cup holders as they are. Unless you lean them toward the handbrake and end up with it everywhere.

This.

I used to lie the seat back, drop the cup in the rear holder then spring the seat up.

Although you don't have this luxury @jesus

/trendlineproblems.

 

[jesus]

My seat hasn't been adjusted since the last owner bought it!

 

[Bozmeister]

I have the same problem with my cans of Monster.

 

[Mr Plums]

I have the same problem with my cans of Monster.

Take a straw? Or buy two so they lean on eachother?

 

[LeeRS]

Only ballers buy 2 monsters to lean on each other. Then drink them from a straw.

 

[McGherkin]

Coming from a Ph1, the Ph2 holders are a billion times better.

 

[Rob G]

One of these in the passenger seat?

[aucky]

Problem solved.

 

[Timmsy]

Agree with @McGherkin the ph2 ones are awesome compared to the ph1 cup holders!!

 

[Gus]

Totally agree that a decent cup holder is needed.

You could remove the front tweeter and then stick a can of Redbull in there lol.

 

[fairm010]

So I just bought the Audo cup holder Budgie linked. Now to see if I can get it in that pointless hole under the CC controls.

Please do..... we can all copy you then.



Or laugh at the big hole you've made in your dash. [emoji4]

Let me know how well this goes or doesnt with a pic or 2

 

[fairm010]

I'll update here when I've had a look

Good luck, cut the left hand dash strip, fibreglass the cup holder to follow the dash strip curve and paint to match.

Then maybe an OEM cup sticker to finish off.

 

[fairm010]

Look what turned up!

 

[jonzz]

Renault Laguna cup holders are also pop out ones but they are positioned vertically if this helps anyone

 

[fairm010]

I've found where this is going to go but will probably be a lower dash out job.

 

[rctempire]

@Stu.
He made some recently.

 

[tom182]

Look at this slot on a ph1 dash....looks perfect!

 

[fairm010]

That's what I'll be using Tom, it's there in the ph2. Need to cut the back of it out, that will be it!
