Centre console cup holder cover

I was just wondering if it is possible to get a cover for the cup holders in the centre console for the 2008 ES? Would be nice to keep it covered over, surely there would be a part that can be purchased.

This is the part I'm talking about, but this one has a cover.

Sorry but it's not a good answer I have.

It's not possible to get just a cover to fit over what you currently have. You will need to buy an entirely new center console. It's a completely different part # for those with the cup holder. It's prohibitively expensive to be honest and costs close to A$500 to replace the whole thing.

If you're looking to spend in that region, I can provide you a more accurate quote.

as an alternative keep an eye out in the wreckers. Not many CJ's i know, but as long as you're not in hurry

yeah a 600ml bottle of Coke just fits into it, I do not drink Macca's coffee but their soft drink cups fit fine.

True, I just want one part covered in the centre console. It would be nice if the part between the two seats was covered, it is possible to get a part that fits over this, without having to replace it all?

I.e. an armrest?

bd-850: I think you will find that centre console arm rest section hole is different in an ES. The size of the square is not quite the same as that in a VRX / Aspire.

It boils down again to the entire console part below it. If you click on the schematic on the page you referred us to, the part that is in question is 74030. That is the part that differs between ES and VRXs. So this may not be that straightforward.
