Cupra R centre gauges

[cus]

i know a lot of people have these fitted, but i'm a bit worried about losing so much space..

i use this space for my mobile, paper, cigarettes , etc etc. so just wondering where people who have the gauges installed, store everything.

i dont like putting my mobile in the glovebox or door as its more likely to get covered in scratches. and the ibiza has a lack of places to store things anyway!

i really fancy getting one of these in the future as they are quite cheap, but want to know peoples thoughts on storage first

I put my mobile in the little bit in the dash, under the wheel, next to where the book lives.

(also if I leave it in the car its hidden there )

bit worried about accelerating fast and my mobile going flying though! ever beena problem for you?

I think there's a rubber matting on the bit next to the book holder is there not..?

If not then you could get a phone holder for your air vent and then just the rest on the passenger floor I suppose.

Yeah there is rubber matting, mines never fallen out!

there is a rubber mat, but just worried incase my mobile or anything else comes off it under hard acceleration. i suppose i'll just do a trial run of not using that space and see how things go. cheers for the replies

oh, and thanks for telling me about the space to put the book! i didn't even know that existed!

 

[mr_D]

[cus]

the book that contains the service manual etc. had a go last night and fits in perfectly so its found a new home there. its the grey book with the SEAT badge on it

I have absoltutely no idea what book holder you guys are referring to...
I keep that book in the glovebox as thats where it was when I bought the car..?

btw antee thanks for telling us where we can find your mobile when you're parked

under the steering wheel, to the left of the rubber mat, there is a big hole that a lot of people put the stereo in, this is where the book goes

My mobile is only there if I forget to pick it up, I usually remember when I lock the car
