DrivenVW Shifter-Mount Cup Holder + Fire Extinguisher (Special Edition)

Experience modern convenience and real safety, designed specifically for classic Volkswagens. Our DrivenVW Shifter-Mount Cup Holder + Fire Extinguisher offers a patent-pending, precision-built solution that mounts directly at the shifter base on the tunnel, offering a perfect fit for vintage VW accessories. It securely accommodates large tumblers and bottles while keeping a compact automotive fire extinguisher locked in place and easily accessible.

Crafted by vintage VW owners for fellow enthusiasts, our custom VW cup holders are not just plastic add-ons; they're purpose-built metal accessories that look right, feel solid, and perform reliably every day.

Why Owners Love It

- Holds Big Drinks Securely: The deep cup pocket with tall sidewalls keeps oversized tumblers, water bottles, and coffee cups upright—even on bumpy desert roads.

- Integrated Fire Extinguisher Mount: The built-in cradle ensures a compact automotive extinguisher is tight and accessible—no rolling around, no wasted seconds when it matters.

- Driver-Focused Placement: Positioned low and beside the shifter, it stays clear of the shift pattern, handbrake, and seat travel.

- Rock-Solid Mounting: Bolts directly to the shifter base for a rigid, vibration-free platform—no rattles or flex.

- Clean Vintage Look: With a minimal, functional design, it complements classic VW interiors beautifully. Choose from raw metal for custom finishes or durable powder-coat options.

Construction & Finish

- Precision laser-cut and formed steel for enhanced strength and repeatable fit

- Smooth edges with a radiused top lip for easy cup entry and removal

- Raw finish for patina or custom paint

- Optional powder-coat for long-term durability and protection

Built to last—these custom VW cup holders are engineered, not made to crack.
