    The console & cup holders are no uglier than the ones in my R53. Maybe the whine makes the R53 ones more beautiful? :smilewinkgrin:

    I had a MiniFini cup holder installed at MOTD and it works great. The console "stuff holders" I use for well, stuff.

    There is the ashtray that MINI makes (P/N51162756336)....

    It fits the cup holders very nice.... Maybe consider getting two... I use mine to hold loose change...

    Welcome to M/A the FUN Mini site. :Thumbsup:

    It would help if you took a picture of the cup holder you want to get rid of.... year and model would also help.

    I have never see anyone get rid of them. Everyone uses them as storage for stuff. I am sure you can cut them out if you are talented with a dremel. :D

    Bet you could custom fab one up..maybe cover it in some alecrantra...
    Just buy a used one...hack it up...add some fiberglass....and cover the carnage.
    Not sure about the understructure...might be covering a bump or wires...
    But once you have the car...you can yank yours off...and look...

    Hey...at least the ashtray is useful for change!!
    The cupholders are useless for anything but a CAN of coke....and most stores don't sell those ad singles anymore....heck they splash on tight high G TURNS anyway....

    The only round drinking receptical that I have been able to utilize in those things are the cans of cold coffee I pick up from the Japanese Markets.

    We could patition BMW to call them something a little more fitting (pardon the pun). How about Organizers, maybe Collectors?
