Gosh, that means someone paid extra for it in my car and I'm thinking of paying to take it out! Did it come bundled with the interior packages?

Nope you have to pay for cupholders extra

Dan can verify but I believe the lower tray part number is A 171 680 0552.

thanks bradmg.

Instaled the tray today, right after my wife looked at me with her Latte Mocha and asked, "So, where are the cupholders in this thing?" Gotta love the tray...Its like not having a backseat when you don't need a third wheel to ride along...hahhaah!!

Even if i did drink in the car (which i don't) and i did have the cupholders i still would not use them, right below them i have a few k's worth of COMAND screen and then another k in control panel and climate display below that.

Not a chance in hell would i risk damaging them for a drink it's just not worth it.

As they said on roadfly tv with reference to the cup holders. "I can't help but think that when you try and get your can or cup out of there at 50mph, you'll be spilling it all over the expensive electronics..."

Anyways, with all of the cars i've owned, there's been no eating or drinking or smoking in there. Simple. No sex either.

That's one reason why i sometimes wonder why electric seats and heated seats on the SLK is standard here... Sometimes they have an adverse effect on women :P

Anyways back to the topic LOL

With cupholders, each to his own, personally i'm not a fan of them. I once seen a guy snacking on McDonalds on his SLK - now THAT is a SIN...

Hi all, new to this forum and hail from Singapore. I'm very interested in this cup-holder replacement and was wondering where I can order it?

**KTownAMG** · 07-15-2008

From your local MB dealer. I just had my cupholder replaced with the cubby. It's a great place for you cell phone, especially with Bluetooth. Cheap upgrade. I also had the 3M film put on the front bumper, hood, fenders and door edges. It took the technician about six hours to install and he did a great job. Total cost here in Germany 400 Euro's.

It will be one of the first mods I do when I get mine, along with the ashtray replacement cubby as well.
I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to get those factory installed over here in SA.

Any ideas twisted?
