The one creature comfort I miss...

[captain]

I've been commuting 80 miles a day of lovely b-roads in all weather since the summer. Got winters, a heated screen and a hardtop. No issues there, absolutely love it.

However, I always used to take an insulated mug of coffee with me in the RS6, P1 or M3. Nowhere to put it in the Elise - has anyone fitted a cup holder? If so, where?

Cheers

Try it where it belongs Iain, on the end of your

There's a lotus made extruded aluminium part for it that fits under the dash. Was on later touring pack cars I think?

Was that not an S2 Toyota option? Would it work on an S1?

I usually stuff a bottle of water in the gap down the side of the driver's seat.... not ideal though for a hot drink.

BTW, respect for using it all weathers

Dom,

Yep that was an S2 one as did not see the op had an S1.

Did the S1 ever had a cup holder option as factory fitment?

Didn't see the s1 either. Can't see why it couldn't be fitted though? I've used the footrest as a cupholder before, moved up as close to the seat as possible.

I had something similar to this mounted on the floor in front of the passenger seat. Did the trick.

Yes, in the RS6. Along with the heated seats and fabulous stereo.

Water bottles or thermal mugs fit nicely to rear left of pax seat. Pretty secure there.

Or get one with a handle open to the bottom and hook it into pax kick panel pocket on the chassis side rail.

Sounds a bit crazy but so one recommended these recently.

While it needs a smoothish surface, I'm sure you'll u could find one in the car.

[campbell]

Clever. But I doubt there actually is a smooth enough flat area to vacuum it onto?

What he said. Even the flat ally surfaces won't take a vacuum sucker as the anodisation leaves a slightly rough surface meaning a sucker won't seal to it and the plastics all have textured paint meaning the same...
