I've just bought a 1997 on the P c180 estate w202, and found there not to be an ashtray in the normal central position like my other c180 had. can anyone advise me weather i can fit one into the space which is empty with a lighter at the back, and also were to buy an ashtray from?

Your car must have option 304 which is the 'no ashtray' option.

The ashtray part number depends on your trim,

A202 810 02 30 = classic/esprit
A202 810 03 30 = elegance (zebrano)
A202 810 04 30 = sport

you also need the ashtray insert itself, which is A215 810 01 28 (which may possibly come with the ashtray mechanism), and there is also a 'spectacle shelf' A202 683 01 91 which is needed.
