Adding the sliding cover to the cup holders.
I've noticed that the european C Class has a nice looking sliding cover where we have the twin cup holders.
What's under the sliding cover? Cup Holder or storage?
Is there a way to adapt this sliding cover to the North American car?
Thanks.

As for american owners, it's worth seeing if you have a small gap in the cup holder top frame for a sliding frame. I'll take a pic later and post if it will help. You may be able to order the sliding part and fit it on.

Cup holder is definitely £20 as a factory option don't know about dealer fit. Cig Lighter is £30 though.

No track here...
No track to be seen here, unless one can remove the cup holder and discover the hidden track.
Would someone post a picture of the European version with the cover open so we can see the difference?

i think its a completely different console. i went to the MB over here in the U.A.E and seen the consoles and the sliding part is different, its more of a rectangle shape. whats really nice is over here they have a ____V6 CLS and a V6 S Class, thats nice to have instead of a gas drinking V8.
instead of a gas drinking V8.

Looks complicated !!
I'm starting to think it would be complicated to remove the whole thing and replace it with a part imported from Europe.

They would really be doing me a favor if they offered an option for the ash tray/cigarette lighter compartment. I don't smoke, so it really is of limited use for me. I had the option in my BMW 3 series back in 2000 for the non-smoking kit, so I wonder why this option isn't available with MB?

The ashtray is easily removed, and makes a nice place to put money for Parking Meters.
Radar detectors are illegal here. (sigh).

The cigarette tray, all rubberish, is a great place to stash a bunch of quarters. Sure it's harder to dig them out (you have to remove the tray and shake out what you need), but when they're in there, they are quiet. I don't like the sound of coins jingling in my car ;-)
