Default Cigarette lighter / ashtray

Is it only me that thinks the cigarette lighter and ashtray look terrible on the dash? I have been trying to think of things I could put in their place. I knwo some poeple put their SECS monitor in the ashtray, but has anyone else done anything inventive? Would the cigaretter lighter part be easy to cut out of the centre console?

Cheers

As everyone who's ever tried to get parts from ford knows, just because its listed on microcat doesn't mean its available

I have an Autronic ECU though and an AIM digital dash which displays most things. Otherwise I would jump at it
