Mk 2 cup holder in middle air vent October 24, 2022, 10:56:44 AM Hi anybody know where i can get the 3d printed parts for the MK 2 middle air vent cup holder conversion? I bought a spare middle vent from breakers, so i can return to standard if i want and bought the wildly used slim cup holder from FORD GALAXY MK2 INTERIOR CUP HOLDER 2000-2006, as used in later VW's and others but struggling to find anywhere to buy the locating collar, (rectangle shape), and front grill that has been used on various Youtube vids of this conversion.
