Cup holder Mod

Hi Guys,

I did a quick & dirty mod to my cupholders with some felt backed foam I acquired from work, cost = Zero. Only had a colour choice of blue, works well for the photos but maybe a bit of colouring (Black) required if i could be bothered to spend more than 60 mins doing this. Here are the pics. BTW works a treat, don't know how robust this will be until used a fair bit.

Hope it gives you some ideas.

The Foam

Foam Side View

Cutting Foam

Improvised ruler to cut the foam to size

More Cutting

Even more cutting into fingers

Making into wedges

Adding Double sided sticky Tape

View when fitted

Lol, 80 views and not 1 comment, was it that bad an idea?

Great idea that, made to measure the cup I would imagine.
Thanks for sharing.

I must be missing something.
What's the point of it?

Hold the cup tight in place, I think!

My travel cup in the holder is a Wizard's sleeve

My son picked up his 66 plate Astra last Thursday and one of the first things he commented on was the satisfying "hiss" of air being exhaled from the cup holder when he put his cup in. Mine (I've tried 3 or 4) rattles and does my head in

Take a look at the more expensive methods of holding Cups, perhaps we have to go a little upmarket - Dave
