Any suggestion as to what i could with that little bit of space i have now that i accidently broke the little ashtray thing into 5 pieces.

Was thinking of finding a replacement but maybe someone has done something before or has some simple ideas.

funny you should mention that :P whenever i need a cup holder, i usually pull the ash tray out and throw it down the back (ash not a problem as the first person to smoke in my car will get a fair kick up the ass) and the hole holds my drinks quite nicely :P and if its a clear bottle at night, you get lighting effects from the ashtray LED :D

just a note for manual owners though, having a drink holder WILL get in the way with 600ml bottles and anything with a straw ie. maccas cups

My LED has stopped working in the little console bit, anyone know what could be wrong? LED gone?

doesnt really worry me, but i might get round to fixing it

holds a maccas cup perfectly! dont know anyone who smokes that actually uses the ashtrays in their cars... by keeping the ash and butts in the car the smell would be unbeliveable.

it does hold it perfectly, but the straw gets in the way of changing gears

You guys are geniouses! I was thinking of getting something to go in the dash for a cup holder, and didnt even think of removing the ash tray! Maybe I should try making a custom fibre glass one....hmm.......Thanks

One Idea I had was gutting the ashtray and using it for a place for switches for neons etc

Where would i get one? Any pics of it?

I dont actually use it as an ass tray but i do always remove the tray and use the hole as a cup holder.

certainly does get in the way of gears, no manaul upshifting or down shifting for me but then again when driving with food and drink you dont want to be fanging it around of the joys (irony) of an auto.
