I bid for and won a rear cup holder off ebay.

It arrived today and it 's in excellent condition. I've got to wait until Christmas day before it is officially mine so it gives me a bit of time to think of a way of fitting it............

At the moment I've narrowed it down to a large piece of blue tak or getting the good lady wife to sit it the back and hold it

to fit - remove blanking plate- shove in cupholder cassette - job done

Or will it be a little more tricky on your car?

Mines got the sport seats and I can't see a blanking plate

so unfortunately it's going to be harder than that. Do they fit into the seat or the metal part? Any photo's? All help gratefully received. :xmas-smiley-031:

when you lift up your seats you will see 5mm wire that makes up a frame for the seat,

The Cup holders just clip on to this wire!

On m y old 75, it already had the cuphoders in the back. My new facelift ZT has no such ability! I suspect that the capacity to install the cupholders on newer cars is somewhat limited! Please let me know if I am mistaken!
