Thread: Off-The-Shelf Centre Cup Holder Conversion
Started 3 months, 2 weeks ago by tazkenny
Just came across this item. Sorry if it's a re-post.
HERE
The German translates soemthing along the lines of:
Fits all MX-5 NC1 and NC1E models (ie, soft top and Roadster Coupe) of
Model years 2005 to 2008.
With this part, you enlarge the storage space of the center console significantly.
The ATH middle compartment is easily exchanged for the original cup ...

Available through R-Speed as well.
They also make a rubber mat to line the inside.
And from the manufacturer, I.L. Motorsport you can get the padded armrest to replace the sliding cover:

Agreed!
Got my armrest this week. It's great!
Not only is it comfy, but it works nicer than the sliding cover. A couple of times, I had my cover slide back so far that I had to wait until I got home to get tools to pull it back out.
It's a bit easier to fit more stuff in there now too.
The sliding lid is removed and the flip lid mounts to the new bin that replaces the cup holders, though I believe the lid will work with the cup holders too.
For your part of the world you'll probably want to order from IL Motorsport, Moss Motors carries these too; http://www.ilmotorsport.de/shop/arti...c8e4623687d c75

I don't think mine latches in the open position (I'll double check), but the lid has enough friction that it doesn't slide back and forth on it's own. __________________ Expert drivers use their expert judgement to avoid having to use their expert skills 09 GT w/ Premium, Suspension packages 04 Honda ST1300 ABS

sushi, go the Moss Motors link in Marketplace on this forum, they have all of IL console parts and pricing. The cupholder replacement box is $105 i think, the mat is about $10 and I don't know how much the padded armrest is, but Moss has it. (I'm doing mine this weekend!)
