Glad I stumbled upon this thread, I just picked up a 2011, and the cup holders are pretty bad. I have to force cups down into them, and I know they're going to puncture or fall out one day.
My S is a manual, and I do not have Connected or Nav. It sounds like I can skip the ring, and just get the panel and inserts. Is this correct?
Center Trim Panel (51-16-9-811-185) ~ $32
2x Cup Holder Rubber Inserts (51-16-9-811-184) ~ $8 each
NOT REQUIRED: Shifter Trim Ring (51-16-9-810-002) ~ $17

I ended up doing the Sewell kit, I picked it up at will call (I live 10 miles away), and installed it last night. It took about 15 minutes.
I used the new cup holders this morning on my way to work, and I love this mod. My old cup holders didn't have the rubber bottom, this new kit (with the rubber bottoms) makes this even sweeter.
I think this could almost be considered a safety factor, especially with a manual transmission. The old cup holders were more difficult to use, especially without taking your eyes off the road, and if you need to make an unexpected shift while you have a drink in your hand, these new cup holders are so much easier to use.

I ended up replacing that part too and now everything lines up.

I know, right?! They're substantially better, and well worth the cost and effort.
I got new veleur floor mats (replacing plastic storm mats), black mickey trim, new cup holders, and non-RF tires all at the same time, and it's like a new car!

Success! Very easy to do. Took me a little time since I had to figure what goes in what order but very easy to do nonetheless. Not to mention, the cigarette lighter was easier to swap this time. Everything fits perfect. Sorry for the crappy picture, it's the best I could get right now at night. If I have time this weekend, I will post a write up. The only special tools you need are a credit card (or any card for that matter), T20 Torx bit and a 13mm socket. Should I post a write up on this thread or start another one?
Thanks for this post guys! Definitely going to get the front cup holders, still debating the rear ones. Guess you lose a little foot well freedom for the center passenger and a rear bench seat? I have rear buckets, just surmising.
I didn't see the part numbers posted for the rears yet and Sewell only shows their offering as a "kit". So altogether, six different MINI part numbers, or is there more to it that I'm not seeing?
51169812558 Cup Holder Angle Bracket (9)
51169812554 Mount For Rear Cup Holder (8)
51169813055 Cup Holder Lower Section (5)
51169812556 Cup Holder Upper Section (7)
51169812557 Cup Holder Insert Rubber (6)
51169811184 Rubber Insert for Cup Holder (10)

07147136006 Fillister Head Self-Tapp Screw w Collar ISA ST4,2X16
07146988451 C-Clip Nut
Of course, after I went to the trouble of looking up all the part numbers, I found THIS:

Guess I'm gonna buy from ECS Tuning then -- great prices makes both front and back units only $163, even with shipping. Helluva lot cheaper than Sewell at $222.
