Ashtray

I am sure that this will have most of you rolling around in laughter, however, being totally newbie and still 'shellshocked' after my first 5 weeks with my 'new baby', I'm still too paranoid aboit even doing the least minor damage?
Well, I cannot fathom how to remove out the ashtray for cleaning (since ubfortunately I cannot refrain from, having a smoke, at least when staztioinary)?
Tried pulling it out but didnt even budge?

Also, any cool replacement cigarette lighters out since it was the only missing thing in my 348

Thanks

 

The two little compartments on either side of the lighter slide up and out, giving you access to screws underneath that hold the assembly in. Always try to think Italian-if there is a complicated way to do it, that will be preferred over an easy and simple way!

 

mine slide right out.

 

Be careful when pulling the ashtray out that you don't break the thin strip of plastic attached to the front console in front of it.

 

It helps if I squeeze the sides of mine in order to pull them out.

 

Correction: The thin strip of plastic is attached to the ashtray.
