Default aftermarket cup holders?

Anyone had any and can post advice, only cup holders in mine are back seat arm rest and i quite like front console as it is, but occasionally i do like coffee if i am on extended site visits.

Its possible to find a genuine Volvo dashboard-mounted cupholder secondhand sometimes if, like me, you find the centre console very useful for holding satnavs, chargers, keys and Murray Mints

Get a centre console with built in cup holders. It was a no cost optional extra when new. Not rare but not easy to find either. Expect to pay about 30-35 quid for a console

It's 4 screws to change so dead easy.
