Custom cup holder - Purplecomputer - 03-07-2012

Just bought this.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/320862779441?item=320862779441&viewitem=&vxp=mtr

Ill let you guys know how well it turns out when it arrives. Looks like it is going to be hand made.

Im taking a gamble here but i could really use a cup holder in my car and i dont want some cheap plastic holders bolted into the door.

I saw that a couple days ago also. Looks like he glued a newer Mercedes slatted privacy console cover together. Looking forward to the results.

So it takes the place of that barely functional center console that gets filled up with useless junk 5 minutes after I clean it out? sounds good to me!

Looks like it came with the car when it left the factory. it didnt specify if the actual holders were a one size fits all deal

RE: Custom cup holder - sassparilla_kid - 03-08-2012

I think one could make these pretty easily, I might have to look into it

Im sure you could, but I am terrible with wood work so for $75 shipped I would rather save myself the hassle and pay someone else to do it.

RE: Custom cup holder - sassparilla_kid - 03-08-2012

I am pretty good with wood work, definitely gonna have to try this out. I think the cup holders would be awesome with (I think it was a w126) armrest that opened up for storing stuff

I would love to see what you turn up with. We can compare when everything arrives and you make yours.

RE: Custom cup holder - sassparilla_kid - 03-09-2012

I'll try making a mock up one in the next couple weeks, if it turns out alright I'll go the specialty wood place that's sort of near my house and try matching the stock paneling

RE: Custom cup holder - Purplecomputer - 03-14-2012

check it out guys, got it in the mail today. Not a 100% perfect fit but it looks great in the car.

RE: Custom cup holder - w123love - 03-15-2012

Looks very nice. Great brightwork.

Question: Do you know what those cup holders are from? Like a brand at all?

RE: Custom cup holder - sassparilla_kid - 03-15-2012

Awesome, I might have to try making one this weekend, if I can find some unused wood at my house lol

I checked this morning and there were no markings/numbers on them of any kind. They look to me like ones you pick up at an autopart to replace the ones in a car with cup holders

RE: Custom cup holder - w123love - 03-15-2012

Saaaweet thats all I needed to know.

RE: Custom cup holder - Purplecomputer - 03-16-2012

I spoke to the seller via eBay email and he gave me his email in case anyone wanted to buy one from him. He says he can do any kind of custom work to match the car and he is willing to resize the wood if it dosnt fit.
