Has anyone got a pic of the 12v cover in the GP?

I ask because my last GP had the cigarette lighter but this one (08 plate) appears to have a 12v socket instead - subtle difference. It also didn't come with the cover which annoys me so I'm looking to buy one off eBay or similar. Would like to get one that matches the oem bit though.

Of course I could probably go into a show room and nick one but I'm the honest type :rolleyes:
 
Ejector seat :idea:

seriously though, would prefer oem

e.g. does it have 12V on it? Or 12v 10amp?

Reason I think its 12v is because I've tried a Cigarette thingy in it but it doesn't click down to glow.

I got a 12v cap from a ford in a scrapyard and binned the lighter.

These kind of mods make me sleep well at night, I hated the cigarette logo in my car.
 
OEM cover.

Bought the complete power socket to replace cig lighter after i gave up smoking. It wasn't dear (otherwise i wouldn't have got it) around £12 ish.

(Excuse to try new camera at night :D)

thanks for that :)
Will try ebay and the like in case on crops up, £12 for a bit of plastic seems steep to me, though cheap compared to some other parts I suppose.

I don't suppose anyone want to swap an ash tray or cigarette lighter thingy for a 12v socket cover (oem)?
