i wouldnt give those plastic things van room, rattly peices of pooh!In a hour or so with a bit of ply and some imagination you can make a sturdy dash top with undershelf storage.

and as for the drinks holders, save your self a packet and go to a pushbike shop and buy a drinks bottle and holder for a couple of quid, throw the bottle away and you have a strong flexible holder that will hold a proper mug or a takeaway cup or a can for loads less than the wessy one.

Look, don't waste your money on these overated 'accessories'.
I bought a couple of small black seed trays (hard plastic type) which I affixed with double sided adhesive sponge pads/tape. In the bottom of each I put anti-slip matting cut to fit. Works perfectly and cost - £4. Job done and no screw holes! Most people assume its a standard fitting. With mats in they don't look like seed
trays.
Turn on to the pound shop revolution - its amazing what will work in a T25 and you know what, their wiper blades are ok too - £1 a pair. And try to avoid building wooden structures on dashboards. If the passenger seat belt should fail, consider what they might come into contact with.
