Title: Front cup holder with shutter
Post by: andybon on December 16, 2012, 06:36:48 pm: Just wandering if these can be fitted into a centre console with the normal cup holder in or do I need the full centre console?

Post by: DamoP on December 19, 2012, 10:10:11 pm: its a simple job once you have the centre console out. 2 screws and its in. good time to fit the front airvent so you can use the blowers on an armrest if you are fitting one

Post by: andybon on December 23, 2012, 07:44:36 pm: Ordered one yesterday after getting paid friday along with the chromed window/light and filler cap buttons.

Already have the pipe in for the rear vents, That came with the kit for the armrest.

Post by: Starshaped on December 24, 2012, 01:47:32 pm: There is a pipe in the bottom of the armrest which comes built in the armrest in those kits but there is another pipe which joins that one to the dash,have you bought that seperate?
Title: Re: Front cup holder with shutter
Post by: andybon on December 24, 2012, 02:10:59 pm: Yeah, that came with the kit, the one that goes from the armrest down to just under the radio. Dropped on with a kit off ebay with one included all brand new!
