Hello,
I would like to put a coffee cup holder into my transmission tunnel and I can't find a supplier. What I would like is a molded item that I can
sink into the tunnel but the only things I can buy are the clip on type which is not what I'd like.
Any ideas where I might be able to get one?
Cheers
Steve
Making one out of fiberglass/carbon would be pretty simple. What's your tunnel trimmed in, FG/Alu/ABS/fabric?
Yeah, I did think of that but I thought I'd see if I could be lazy. Also, I would like it for Stoneleigh and I am quite busy between now and then. Ali, by the way.
Would LR001558 Freelander 2 drop in cup holder to VIN 7H999999 or the end of 2007 | eBay type of thing work or am I on the
wrong track completley?

A cup holder in a Locost? I've heard it all now 
I spent ages looking for something to do that, altough I was putting it in my sidepod. I wanted it big enough to take a cycling bottle or large
take-away coffee cup.
Only thing I found in the end was an old style enameled camping mug in the bargain bin at Halfords. Cut the handle off, put some edge trim around the
rim and pushed it into a snug hole inm the pod. Works a treat and was only 50p.
You can just about see it on the right here...
It has been known to hold other stuff occationally... 
I shall look into this, as I think a little convenience in the car goes a long way, currently I have a cup holder only if the passenger is willing! 
My MK6 Golf has one of these with a sliding cover when not in use.

To separate and to adjust for the cup size this fits between the two. It has the obvious use too.

Not too deep either if space is tight.

I was going to say there's always one, but apparently there are at least two
It'll be radios and heaters next.
Don't drink and drive. If you want a coffee get out and sit in a chair and put your cup on a table.
I found these

Minimalist! My minimum requirement is a cup of coffee on a long drive or at least a bottle of water... and why not for 50p and some left over edge trip.

We used to stick the cups next to the car on the ground.
Personally I would like to be out of the car getting some blood back in the legs.
Still teatering between a caterham and a lotus Elise depending on the coffee cup holder

Excellent responses, I love this site.
I know one could easily take exception to the idea of coffee on the move but I love it. To get to Stoneleigh I will do 100 miles up the M1 (well, if
the weather is good I'll go up the A6) and after a while I crave a little sip of the old bean. When I am in the Luego I am away from work and
all stresses and I like a bit of comfort in those situations.
The Adithorp solution is exactly the idea I was looking for. However, as the consul is ali I'm thinking of ordering the poker table job for £5.
Excellent. Think of me next week as one happy bunny on the way to Stoneleigh.
Cheers to the lot of you.
