Gouldy Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I did exactly the same mistake, it does fit, you need to take the left bottom part of the dash out and cut a gap for the cupholders to fit into. It doesn't matter how bad your cutting skills are because when everything is put back together you cant see it. A 5 min job (I thought) took me 2 hours to do and was a bit of a ball ache.

Gouldy Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Just cut the grey plastic where the cup holders foul. This is how mine sits after I did that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmer94 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 good point. think i will do this. looks ten times better!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouldy Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Basically where the cup holders go inside there is 2 oblong shaped pieces of plastic that stick out (where the cupholders sit when closed) measure twice, cut once. The grey interior plastic is really easy to cut with a hacksaw or similar. You cant really mess it up as its all hidden when reinstal the holders.
