Default D3 Front Cup Holder

Why in the name of all that is holy are they so hard to get and the one on eBay is so expensive!

If anyone has a front D3 cup holder about for sensible money I would be jolly happy to take it off your hands.

Good luck! I've been looking for two years now! If I have a drink in the holder, I just jam it in with packs of chewing gum and my wallet usually

Thanks for the link but that was what I was exactly talking about.

I value that the A8 has such a great parts supply chain but £45 for a second hand cup holder!

This is nothing
For a first TT a cup holder is so rare that the most recent I've seen, REPAIED and used, sold for just under 100quid. New one is something like 175

I am completely mystified as to why you would ever want one?
Don't drink and drive.

With the performance envelope of an S8 that may result in loss of essential fluids.
I find one of these is helpful:
