2014 Euro vs US Cupholders

Just ordered my E 550 Cabrio. I notice that the brochure shows a clean console with a cover for the front cupholders. It looks really good. However, all of the US '14 Cabrios I've seen don't have the cover, so the cupholders are always out there. Not as good looking. Is this just a US build limitation to leave the two big holes in the console? I'm not a big drink-and-drive kinda guy so I'd like to clean up that console if possible. Dealer said, "Cover? What cover?"

On the W212 forum, My Small W212 upgrade (diy) by Torjan, replaced the console on his sedan with the european version...

Thank you! While I can't do that myself, I see that it easily doable by someone who knows what he's doing and I have just the guy.

e350
I just ordered a 14 e350. The brochure I got has a Left hand drive car with covered cup holders. If it was a eruo option why do they put it in the exxport car brochure. it looks like crap. I drove my e350 sedan home looking at that smooth console. I went back to the dealer and there parts book shows both covers. there is no track for the cover to slide into. that might be a console change. Any info on this I would Appreciate

I agree that the clean console looks a lot better. I looked into it and it looks like the whole console must be replaced in order to get the slide track. Bummer!
