this might be a silly mod but i don't smoke so i keep Small change in my front ash tray but their was not so much room so i pulled out the two Pisces on ether side one is to put a cig in and the other looks like u put a coin in it
but wear gloves when pulling them out cos i cut my finger
also if you give a smoker a lift just pull out the rear ash tray job done

I did the same thing to my ashtray a few years ago, it's the best place to store change.

There is an actual coin tray available from the dealers, it replaces the ashtray, looks nice and neat!
