This is ridiculous, it looks the same as for the Volkswagen Jetta I can buy used for $40.

I believe I used a strip I cut out of a black vinyl DVD case to fix the front of the Boxt�'s cup holder - mine had the same vertical cracking, so I added a layer of epoxy and used the vinyl to make it all disappear.

I want to replace the cup holder so that aesthetically it looks like it should.

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.

So, the cup holder in the dash works but the front piece is missing. I called the dealership and they want to sell me an entire new cupholder for around $300+. This is ridiculous, it looks the same as for the Volkswagen Jetta I can buy used for $40. However, even used they are $200+.
So... my question is if anyone sells replacement front plastic pieces for these? Or, where I can find a good one for a reasonable price.
Thanks!
As you didn't provide a photo, it's hard to tell exactly what's wrong. But if you want to fix it
on the "cheap", you can probably rig up something with double sided cloth tape - which
should hold the drink in (which is all you really need it to do).
Sorry, I can't tell what front piece is missing - it looks like the photo you posted is of the
"standard" unit. If you're talking about the vertical cracks which appear in the photo
it does not look like anything worth worrying about. Put some nice strong
epoxy glue over the crack.
I would wrap it in a vynl strip that resembles the thin trim on the passenger side dash. It would look clean and consistent. Just thinking out loud here

Wow, so that piece is commonly broken? Probably why it is missing on mine..
The curvature of the fascia is different than the Jetta, although it is essentially the same design. I will check to see if I can make a piece since there is no way in hell I will ever put a cup of liquid above my PCM Navigation and risk spilling!!
Not on his turbo. What he needs is the cup holder from a base C2, or Jetta. The turbo has the same 'body' cup holder, but that part that actually holds the cups are slightly different and swapping parts to that piece will not work.
I don't think anyone is reading anything I am saying. Or, maybe this is a joke? lol You guys are hilarious.
My cup holder works.
The fascia/trim is missing.
I want to replace the cup holder so that aesthetically it looks like it should.
Jetta one will not fit or work.
So put the cup in the holder.
Is this a joke? Are we just posting parts of our cars that work now? Gonna be a lot of threads. Cars have lots of parts.
My left front caliper works.
I'm not sure why OP is so worried about an operational cup holder since he said he won't risk putting the cup over the nav unit (?)
Why not just glue the good fascia piece onto the broken cupholder and be done with it if you don't want to use the cupholder anyway?
I just had to find a replacement for my in-dash cupholder and had to use the fascia from my old one on the replacement I picked up from eBay.
Looking at the pictures of your cupholder, it looks different than mine did without the fascia. I think it has split in two and the front trim separated from the part of the fascia that attaches to the cupholder. If you manage to find a replacement fascia - I'd be surprised if you could - you'll need to remove that piece of the fascia that attaches to the cupholder and it is tricky to reattach it correctly. There is a gear in the cupholder that causes the fascia to slide, and I haven't seen instructions that show how to line it up.
eBay is probably your best bet to find a complete unit with the fascia and change out the whole unit.
