Where to find F56 CupHolder Extension pictured?

Hey guys,

I have a 16' F56 JCW, loving it so far. I saw this picture in a thread, anyone know if someone makes this for the F56 or where to find one?

I need a larger size cupholder and would like to place it to the side, out of the way of the stick shift.




Thanks!

What a great idea, I lost one of mine to the JCW BT exhaust switch. I can get it back with one of these.

Now the Google search begins.

Okay, so I couldn't find the one pictured, but found this one instead.

https://www.amazon.com/McNaughton-In...ag=d_2b_a_o-20

For my purposes, it should work fine. Slip this in the current cup holder, put the BT controller in and the if I have a drink, just set it on top (ensuring the cup doesn't leak or i don't spill). W/o a cup still have access to the BT controller to open exhaust baffle. $10.

That'll work fine for you guys with auto's, but will still interfere with manuals. When I have a large cup in mine I have to skip 3rd and 5th to keep from crushing the cup. I don't do it often enough to justify a C note for a new holder either. On my R56 I had Mini Fini install one of theirs while at the Dragon. Well worth it on the R56, but just can't justify it on the F56.

Don't believe I'd trust that one with a Route 44 Cherry Limeade from Sonic.

At the risk of being booed for replying to an old thread the I think still is applicable to this day...

I could 3d print that cup holder and include a screw hole in the bottom so that it is held in place by the screw that holds the cup holder in. I'm going to check the 3d printing library sites to see if someone already beat me to it.
