Their pic seems to be missing the ashtray, but yours would work anyway if it doesn't come with one.

I do have my old one somewhere as I replaced it with a blanked one, but I have no idea where it is :-(

As above, go to a scrappy and get a few. Mostly they have 2 wires, some have a third for a the lighting.

I would put one in the glovebox with constant (non switched) power and leave the charger in there. Another in the boot area will come in handy too for things like tyre pumps etc.

On eBay I have seen dedicated USB chargers which fit in a round hole. If you don't plan to ever actually use it as a lighter then this might be better for you.

Mark a centre hole on that round area and drill a small hole, then use a hole cutter to slowly cut a nice round hole, push the lighter body through and hopefully it will hold in place. You may need to make a key way with a file etc to stop it from spinning round. You may need to glue it into place also.

Also, this is the first time I have seen a blanked off one in a polo, I thought they all came with them?
