MX5 cup holder.

Going from a modern car to an older car, this is the thing I'm missing most (More than power steering, and lights that turn them selves off when I get out).

I've seen them on other peoples cars that replace the ash tray, has anyone got one lying around?

I am sure that the mx5 has 4 cupholders. There was a thread about it the other day, either on here or pistonheads.

That was the one thing I missed when I had an MX5 too!
A colleague at work just bought a Mk3 and the thing that impressed me most was the array of nice looking cupholders

MX5 parts do an ashtray replacement for just over £20:

Do you want to drive it or use it as a coffee shop???

The way I used to drive my X's, the last thing you would want is a cup of hot coffee with you!

Thanks for the link.

I usually get a coke or something when I get my shopping but I don't want to sit there and drink it all in the car park. Also the ash tray just reminds me that I don't smoke anymore.
