I found the solution is to ban the consumption of all food and drinks because it's an Aston don't ya know.

I draw the line at my dog eating and drinking in the car, she has to be on best behavior and keep her paws off the dashboard

So I bought a cup holder. It’s not bad to be fair but I do wish it were topped in piano black. I may have a go at designing and making my own. ??

Im surprised after 18 years in production im surprised that Aston Martin havnt offered a range of optional leather or expensive plastic inserts for the Sportshift cars.

I’m surprised too. Although they would most likely price themselves out by charging a huge amount for it.
I paid £150 for a Ferrari F430 cup holder, from Ferrari. But it was carbon fibre and matched perfectly with the interior. I think that was very reasonable to be fair.

Result.

I bought the nespresso cups and fit perfectly into the holders. So I went ahead and bought the phone holder.

Let you know what its like.

I dont know when the pop out Lamy pen came in, maybe with the non S 4.7 models ? there was a spare button hole that needed to be filled and someone chose this pen

May I suggest one of those baseball caps with two drinking bottles on either side and straws coming out of them ?
Not only will it solve your issue but it will make you look rather dapper .

Coffee a plenty with no spillage and mobile phone placement also sorted

The mobile phone holder looks very nice

[Laup99]

Yeah impressed with it.

If I just want it look standard it just lifts out. Is a great solution.

I have drilled a hole in the bottom and put a small channel across the base so I can feed a lead from the USB socket in the arm rest under the holder (lead goes in on one of the corners) so I can also charge the phone if I need.

Braver man than me - I always put the lids on my Nespresso cups.
