Like americans have voted, the cup holders are the one of the most important equipment of the car.
And so am I always wondered where to put a cup or mug or a bottle while driving. Original places at front of the center box are very difficult to use, so I have to figure something else. I found a pic of Land Rover cupholders, they looked nice and they might fit. So I ordered Land Rover Genuine Parts Discovery Dark Smokestone Cupholder Set (STC53156LPW).
I don´t like Land Rovers, but... bought them because there is no Land Rover marks printed.
First I tried to install it to the center consol side (because of the shape), next to gear shift, but it would been too far and the dash started to take room of the direct line above the holder. Luckily I found better place for it, couldn´t be better.
I have to mold a little the area under the cup holder by a heat air blower, about 1 cm deeper, now it´s quite close to horizontal. I whittled the screw place off (the lowest point) that it sits to center tray´s pivot (I don´t know the right word). The cup holder (the bottom part) is screwed with 3 screws to the consol.
The center part is removable:
