For quite a while I've been annoyed by the fact that I had the smokers package (I couldn't order the car without it; guess there are a lot of smokers in Romania) and that I was wasting some storage space... I could only fit a few coins in the ashtray:
So I decided to get the non smoking, open storage space:
Original ashtray vs new storage compartment:
I still have to get the rubber insert for the storage compartment (some mix with the codes and it didn't arrive at the same time as the other piece).
Very pleased with the mod since I now have additional space to put the phones, keys, etc.
This is the end result:
As you can see I still have the 12v socket.
The operation is very simple but moving the 12v socket from the ashtray to the storage compartment is a pain in the ass. I spent 2 hours doing this
.
So, one step closer to having the car just like I like it
