Default DRINK HOLDER-My first C8 contribution

Wife gets into car and we find out that the cup holders we have are afterthoughts and your elbow is continuously hitting whatever is in there. So I have found my own remedy.
Amazon ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS CUT OUT THE LOWER FLAT SECTION OFF AND IT FITS PERFECTLY WITH THE TOP FLANGE TUCKED UNDER THE TUNNEL TRIM.
PLEASE DON'T START WITH NO ONE DRINKS IN MY C8. THIS IS SIMPLY A REMEDY FOR THOSE THAT DO, MAINLY PASSENGERS!

Nothing permanent holds really well with just friction.

I think I like it!

If it's on my girl's side and she wants one, I'm fine with it.

Well.
Quick response. 1. Wasn't soliciting a response.
2. This is just a temporary fix, it takes less than 10 seconds to install but I can include an install video as well as a removal video .
3. Thanks for your input it has made my day!

Found this one on Amazon that is slightly cheaper, same metric measurements, the length in inches on the Topteng on Amazon is incorrect, 24cm is not 12.2", its 9.4". There are several of these listed on Amazon, all different brands but all identical.

Been using these for years, brought over from my C5 and C6, now in my C8 and Porsche 911. Works great.
