96 XJ6 Center Console Lid/cupholder question.
Hello All,
I have the center console lid with the recess for, what must have been, a factory installed cell phone. (See Photo: Sorry, you'll have to look closely at the upper portion of the pic. only one I have at the moment.)
I just purchased the car online a few days ago and haven't seen it live and in person (yes I know, what was I thinking right) No really, it's an imaculate vehicle.
The question is: Do these console lids have cup holders, (for example one that is hidden inside the console,) or would I need to replace this lid with a standard lid/cupholder combination to get the basic functionallity of say taking my coffee with me, lol.? I can't imagine being an either or situation between cell phone or cupholder but nothing would surprise me.
If replacement is the only option to get a cupholder in my car, what is the best source for oem replacement parts, used is fine if in good condition.
Thanks!
Rick

No, the phone recess and cup holder cannot coexist.
I had the phone lid in my X300 when I bought it, and I had so much trouble finding a standard replacement in the right colour (black for the XJ Sport interior), that I ended up making a vinyl clad steel panel to plug it up:
As you can see from the above picture, there is not enough room at the front of the lid for a cup holder assembly.
Good luck finding a replacement...

Welcome to the X300. Looks like a nice ride, you'll enjoy it!
Stock cupholders aren't terribly effective at their supposed function, but I have seen the console lids on eBay for $159-$179 in a variety of colors, including some VDP's which I guess were a slightly different color/textrure from the non-VDP's. No guarantee the one you need will be there, but it's a start.
