my not so neat solution

Excellent solution Josh. Do you reckon two cupholders would fit though?

I have a temporary solution with a couple of cupholders from SuperCheap. They are on an angle and you lose the ciggy lighter - not that we use it, except for iPod and phone charger, but we run thise from the lighter at the rear. The angle doesn't seem to be prob.

The lower holder is screwed into the ashtray lid - there's rubber packing over the lid to get a level surface. The front cup is clipped to the rear one, and has packing underneath so it sits against the console.

One day I'll get around to shifting the window controls and go with your system.

I was always intending to do this to mine before it got written off, I was planning on using a VY/VZ center console cup holder though. Great write up mate :thumbsup: I would never have thought to use a hairdryer to get the ducting out of the way.

EDIT: Also, for people with power window switches... Rip your auto shifter surround off (Because let's face it, for the grand total of THREE PEOPLE with manual VS's you can suck it up and hold your cups)... Fiberglass the hole where the ash/coin/random-crap tray usually goes and put the power window switches there. Also something I always intended to do.

thats what im thinking of doing to mine one day

2 cup holders should fit if you move the front cup holder forward, mine is only in that spot as i had holes drilled into the console for a phone holder and didn't want them left behind, when i put the last cup holder in i will have to modify it as the console starts to curve up to the armrest.
