Hi there,

My partner recently got a used Mini Cooper One 13 reg from a mini dealership. I noticed that two of the cup holder liners are missing - no big deal but sticky coke and other drinks often spills into the bottoms.

I have looked online but really struggling to find the standard plain ones that come with the car.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I can source them from?

Thanks in advance.

They don't have liners as such. Are you referring to the cups with lids on? If so they are called ash trays and cost around £15 part number 51162756336

No these are the plastic round liners that sit in the bottom of the cup holder. You can take them out and clean them when they get sticky over time from drink residue. It looks as though 2 out of the three have been taken out and never replaced.

Seems to hard to track down where to get replacements from.

I've never seen them, not sure they're OE on the hatch (I've had two, from new). It's one thing I noticed when moving from a Fiat Panda base model to the 'premium' Mini was that the cupholders had no lining. There's also the missing strap to help close the boot lid, instead some utterly useless indents in the lining.

I think I'd be tempted to cut some bits of foam to the correct shape. You can chuck them away if they get messy and they might even offer a useful bit of cushioning for cans, cups etc.

Alternatively, searching for cup holder insert on eBay brings up various OEM options, one of which I would expect to fit.

Thanks, Mini managed to get us some. I think they were 5.00 so not the end of the world. All sorted now. Thanks again for your help!
