Idiot screwed up my Merc

An idiot screwed up the ashtray/sound system panel in my

1970-something 220 D. Does anyone know if I can make a custom panel instead? I wouldnt mind a bigger ashtray and a new panel with a bit of chrome on the outer edge.

I need advice, basically. Should I try to repair this panel or should I go about making a new one? I don't have the owners manual either and I live in Pakistan which makes finding one close to impossible.

I'll post pictures of the panel if anyone wants to see it.

First: kill the idiot!!

I live in the netherlands, and all parts are easily available here, but they cost!! I leave it to your own judgment to repair or replace, but if you want to replace the panel, I can give you the email address of someone who can help you with the panel.

Good luck,

Lots of places ship worldwide - I know that Dronsfields in the UK do. It may be worth pointing your Web browser at them and asking for a price.

You've got really high skilled, low labor-cost folks over there. A friend from there said that if you live in the North West province, there are guys who will make rifles for you almost from scratch, complete with a namebrand insignia of your choice engraved, for a fraction of the price.
