Center Console (cupholder) Solution

Looking forward to a R/H version being available
I think a UK version could do with an insert for the original size. I've not had a problem with the cup holder size, so far, but I think i would if it was larger and wouldn't grip a 330ml can or 500ml bottle. The hot drink flasks we use hold firmly in the standard European sized cup holders.

Agreed, and would like a version for LHD market which fits the OEM cup holders for the exact same reasons you mentioned. Have the option for standard and oversized so folks could choose depending on their needs would be ideal.

Judging by the thickness difference between the plastic center covers and billet one it might be a little more complicated to use the existing OEM holders as they seem to sit slightly higher so maybe a recess would need to be milled on the backside of the billet cover to allow it to sit over the original holders and still sit flat across the rest of the console?

There's some great kit on the webisite , is there a distributor in the UK ? £32 P&P on the overhead storage system seems really high.

After considering multiple different cup holder solutions, I found the "Boat Marine Cup Holder Cupholder & Storage Box Black Starboard" dual cupholder which has excellent build quality and matches the INEOS interior decor. It is made with 1/2" starboard material and is W 9" x D 7 1/4" x H 3 1/2" and has stainless screws. As shown in the photos, it has 2 cupholder locations and a pocket for storing a cellphone, pen, whatever. I put velcro on the back of the unit and attached it to the surface shown in the "mount surface" photo. That way, I can easily remove and re-attach it as needed.

Could you please let me know the diameter of the cup holder openings? Trying to see if it will fit a couple of larger water bottles I've got. Thanks!

The cup holder opening diameter is 3 1/4". Guessing you would need to buy a cup holder adapter to adapt this size to the size you need. Many options on Amazon, etc.
 
Is it cool to the touch? The metal bits gives it a very Pagani look to the interior.

But seriously.. I put a fking large size buger king soda into my stock cup holder today. It fit perfectly.

Why are ppl so vexed by the standard cup holders?
I've wondered the same thing as I'm less interested in giant cup holders and more interested in a higher quality material to finish off the center console which this modification provides nicely. I can however see why some would want bigger holders and slots for phones. But watching some videos of the phones sitting in the slots they kind of poke up awkwardly out of the center console in a way that doesn't seem all that convenient but I'm not big on interacting with a phone while on the road anyway but can certainly understand others need to have their phone within reach.

Just put the phone next to the parking brake...
