F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 20y 15d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 18/10/05 01:22 PM Share Posted 18/10/05 01:22 PM I couldn't image not having a lid. It hides my fone and BT headset when I leave them in the car.. I hardly ever use it for holding drinks.. ( doesn't hold IC cartons, dammit ) Also put the gge remote in there, and some small change.... shut the lid, out of sight, out of mind.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use mine to hold my mobilephones nicely. When I was checking out the BA Mk IIs (before I knew the BF's were coming along), I was disappointed that my mobilephones did not sit upright properly in the newer cupholders (but what the heck, some of you may well be saying - it is a cupholder after all...)

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 10m 16d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 18/10/05 02:38 PM Share Posted 18/10/05 02:38 PM I was reading this thread thinking that I like the lid on the cup holders in my Mk1, but would not have them on the BF. Then I remember looking in the BF F6 at the SMS and seeing that they have put the lid back on.I thought I would look at the pics from the SMS and low and behold the FPV cars have a lid...Here is a pic Chris took of the interior of the F6 Typhoon But I checked a few other pics and it looks like the XR's do not have them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had my T for over 2.5 years now, and haven't had any problem with the drink holder. Only complaint would be that tall cups/bottles in the right cup holder get in the way when changing gears. But that's got nothing to do with the lid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would cost bugger all, and they're pretty easy to take off / put on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomchic Just because it is, doesn't mean it should be.....

HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 1m 26d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 20/10/05 04:33 AM Share Posted 20/10/05 04:33 AM Trust me, you wouldn't miss it if you had one. I'm about to rip the thing off, damn thing is a bit FUBAR'ed on one side, think the previous owner forced it closed and hmm........annoying if it's not opened a certain way! Either that or the majority of them are dodgy. The NA's cup holder lid was a bit of a pain in the as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
