Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-PORSCHE-996-BOXSTER-BEVERAGE-CUP-HOLDER-LHD_W0QQitemZ390180510587QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item5ad8921b7b for sale on ebay at the moment, anyone know if this is the right type of cup holder for my 2000 / 2001 996 ? Ive fitted a pioneer double din unit and although I have a trim piece for the top id prefer the original look (think Richard has this fitted in his?) any help appreciated. thanks Jon

POST 2Original post

I don't think it will fit, because the facelift 996 has a different top vent which gives extra space for the cupholders.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cheers Richard looked at something similar, but the dimensions dont look right! my gap is approx 12/14mm that looks more like 20mm which if you have a slightly smaller double din (which the one he is fitting looks like) then perfect, if not I have a very engineered fit so to speak (and the CD's probably wont be able to slide in! I shall keep thinking and wondering! Jon
