WTD: GU Front cup holder

[mjr350]

Hi Guys
I'm after the twin cup holder to go in front of the centre console. My trim code is "k" but any color will do.
Just worked out that what I was missing as my "V" can doesn't sit too well around corners.

A cheaper version is this - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201074110952?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Not sure on the quality, I haven't seen one yet. I guess in theory the air con will keep it cool.

Thanks guys. Ive searched high and low at wreckers for a cheap one but they won't split from the console as guys buy the console and passenger seat for the ute. Cheapest I could find was nissan so I have one on the way.

it would be strange for nizzbits or patrolaprt to be dearer than nissan, they sell factory items but not at factory prices

Nizzbits are $35 +$15 postage. Nissan are $45 with no delivery charge. Its only $5 but easier because I paid in cash on the spot.
Surprisingly a different dealer on the central coast wanted $55. I asked why the price difference between 2 nissan dealers and he was quite rude in his shoulder shrug response. Same went with holden on the coast when I lived down there. Port Macquarie were always upto 20% cheaper.

You could always make your own. I made mine taller to suit the big travel mugs.

Sure, will have to find them. Used 100mm poly pipe. Heated till soft with heat gun, forced in holders to make shape. Got 500 ml of the grey to paint. Put Velcro on bottom of passenger one, as I couldn't get them to fit side by side. Passenger one is next to ashtray.

Don't waste your money on the genuine bit its crap, I've herd of people using PVC pipe and heating it to mould it to shape to fit
