Does the Calais have any?
if not, has anyone here made or bought some custom cup holders for their VL? Twice now I've spilt a large coke from maccas, lol, so I thought it might be time to have some cup holders, instead of fumbling around with drinks in my hand while driving. So just wanting ideas for sumthing that doesnt look out of place or cheap.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
Yeah i've been thinking about the same thing. Everytime im with people and we go where and they have drinks thye r always asking where the drink holder is...
calais dont have any as far as i know...
if u took the centre glove box lid off and made some sort of thing with 2 big holes in it youd have a fairly good drink holder i guess...or cut a piece of wood to fit inside the top part of it with a couple of holes, and when u want a drink holder open the lid.
other than that im sure u can buy ones that suction onto the plastic, but they wouldnt hold much and would probably fall off...
-vince
Take the centre console lid off
Grab a maccas drink tray (holds 4 drinks if i remember correctly)
Cut it down the centre
It will fit near perfect into the console between the driver and passenger seat.
Spray it black
Too easy....
yeah i did that with myne after i go to my gf here hold this she grabbed the bloody coke that ahrd it like exploded in my car...to mke things worse we went out that night and had a few drinks left over she said she got them out nyways it got that hot the cans then exploded too so i had cc all throguhout my car and she then threw one of the swollen cans out the window and when it hit the gorund it blew up and then coveredmy windscreen with cc.i swear not good.but i found there is a little rim on the inside of the lower glove box behind the handbrake.i made a little plastic template out of clear plastic 3mmm thick of something and it sits on that rim and has two decent sizxe holes through it thuis holidng two maccas large cokes aahhaha

I did that before I put the Calais lid on and it worked a treat.
Hi all,
has anyone come up with something decent for drinks? Without having to remove your power window switch!!! Surely there's someone out there who's come up with something or is there an off the shelf thing you can buy?
i work at a plastic fab joint, ive been thinking about making some sorta of cup holder to replace the glovebox lid, bolting strait in the old holes, so you can still use the glovebox as well, just havent got around to it as yet

A shit VL is just a nice VL waiting for a decent owner.
As far as the cup holders go Street Commodores did a write up a while ago about installing a VQ to VS stato/caprice centre console lid that has hidden cup holders into a VN-VS. I am not in the same hemisphere as my VL and I dont have the required VQ-VS part to check but maybe you could adapt it to fit the VL reasonably easily. Certainly be one of the higher quality solutions I think.

You can't link images from your PC. You need to upload them to Photobucket or similar first
