General Cup holder inserts

[p111dom]

The cup holder liners have perished on the car going brittle and broke into pieces when I put the vacuum cleaner near it. Anyone know where I can get some replacements or is it a dealer part?

I wouldn't bother personally. They're not a necessity but I suppose you could always get some foam and cut some to size.

is that the little gridded discs at the bottom that covers the bolt hole..??,
or a "sleeve" ..??, i've only got the discs on my '04 active,

Yes that's the ones I'm on about. They simply cover the bolts.

Hi and welcome to the forum

One of my inserts broke up in exactly the same way - while vacuuming the car. In my case, I covered it with the 'ash tray/cup'. TBH, I would make something myself rather than going through a dealer. If you want to maintain the originality, fair enough, but try ordering a single insert and I think you may find it difficult!

Crikey £6.70 each plus VAT so £16.08 for two bits of foam. I think I'll look to cut some out of something else.

One of mine is missing, I assume it went the same way as yours?
I wouldn't bother with a new Fiat part, just cut some from rubber or such like..........that's what I intend to do.

I was thinking of cutting them from a non-slip dash mat

You could make your own "unique" Cup holder inserts

That's what I was thinking of using too

What's the best way to measure these? in order to get as good the shape as possible?

Thinking a can of coke is around the perfect size of circle for them?!

I got the remains of my best old insert and drew around them. I used kitchen type thick vinyl flooring stuff !!

 

[irc]

I used some of that dimpled drawer lining rubberised stuff from Ikea.
But only coz it was laying around unused and I was getting tired of the coins jangling!
Some of the thicker rubber dash mat material might be better.
If anyone finds anything which is cheap and looks good, please tell, as I have no more Ikea roll.

I'd draw around the old ones. I must say that mine are pretty manky and feel quite crumbly.

 

[SB1500]

I've never even seen the originals, I was hoovering out my granny's new Panda Pop and noticed it had them and it clicked that our Pandas likely had them too. Then I found this thread!

My 100HP doesn't seem to have any at all...not even crumbly ones!
Does anyone know the diameter of them and have a picture of one?

 

[bob1969]

Cheap rubber from eBay in sheets, use compass to measure diameter the draw circles. Got spares then if needed. The other panda hack is the rear boot pull. Open it up and twist the end inside out it can then used as a pull as was intended.

Just measured the cup holders in the Sporting - 65mm.
Which gave me one of those off-the-wall ideas.
For some interior bling, how about 65mm silicone wheel stickers?
Lots of designs, and only a few quid for 4.
Had some Fiat logo ones left over from when I was struggling to find proper badges.
Not much good on wheels, but look quite good at the bottom of cup holders. Just don't use the adhesive backing.
But a bit too blingy for me.
Guess I'll still be getting some black silicone sheet & a craft knife.

Trial and error with scissors and a cornflakes packet to make a template.

Make new liners from thicker card. Not really rocket science TBH.
