   Pretty cool idea providing they don't intrude leg space or make it awkward for the drivers leg to use the clutch.

   might just be my driving style, but I reckon the right hand one would hit my leg all the time. Great idea though

   ill pop it into position to see if its in the way, if it is im gonna have to do some redesigning and possibly only have one cup holder or have two on the left hand side,when its complete im gonna have a little LED in each to illuminate it and possibly one in the middle so i can see how much pennies i got!
   
   
   im thinking off getting ride of the switching aswell or use an alternative switch,
   any ideas?

    I reckon you could even sell a few of these if they're done to a high enough quality. Good idea mate

    Looks good mate,when you say switching you mean the electric window switches?If so why not put 1 each side on the doorcards where the door pull is.(been thinking of re-routing the switches myself)
