Subject: [W126 Coupe] ashtray

Anybody with a parts catalog know what MB charges for the front ashtray in a 1985 380SE? Anybody know how similar this is in quality to the original piece? I want to hook an ipod into the aux input that's in the back of my nakamichi head unit. I'm planning on dremeling a cut-out into the ashtray to run the cables to between the ipod and the head unit (I'll use the ashtray as the ipod holder, cut some padding to fit into the ashtray and make a cutout into it for the ipod...it'll be slick), but before I do, I want to know how replaceable they are (I may just buy another one first and use that, but unless the local dealership keeps them in stock, that'll mean I have to wait till thanksgiving break to wait for dremel access (I'm home from now until Tuesday morning).
Thanks,
Richard
