I get the feeling ash trays are going to become rare and difficult to find once this takes off...

possibly the greatest mk1 mod i've ever seen, thats the only thing they are lacking.. a cup holder. and if these are the same as the lupo ones its a very satisfying feeling clicking it in and watching it slide out.

when does production start then?

or if you want to go open source lets see how you did it  ;)

is it a mk4 one you have used to fit into ashtray?

on a serious note, especially when motorway travelling to shows , cup holder is always lacking!

if you do consider mass producing i would def be interested in one mate!

Looks good, but if you do away with the ash tray where will the spare change and the mobile phone go?

Great idea pal, looks smooth. I did start reading this and think that luxury Audi's came, not only with cup holders but but the capability to measure out the perfect quantity of liquor!  :lol:

Looks like it's from a mk4 golf era, I have similar on my 98 A6 however it has optics built in

Thats brilliant!
Could you be twisted into posting a tutorial on that or is it a business secret?  :lol:

Having a few life issues at the moment so this has been pushed on the back burner for a while.
