What's this?

[fUbAr]

Just been out in the car for my lunch break... and like you do, started pulling things apart.

Came across these little hatches in the front footwell trim, O/S and N/S are the same. What are they for? Just appears to be a big hook in there.

 

[pip.]

A grenade?
Perhaps it deploys the parachute.
To tie your car outside a shop so it doesn't run away?

 

[Liambo-235]

Always wondered that too in my old clio

 

[pip.]

A bottle opener?

This is what I thought too... must be right!

A bottle opener?

a bit of an awkward angle, but anything's possible...

 

[Peter.K]

Anchor point for leg irons or handcuffs so the b**ch can’t escape.

 

[pip.]

I just had a look at my 172 and that has them too. :S

It might be a sex thing. Tie the g/f down etc?

 

[pip.]

Maybe it's like that hooky thing on Swiss Army Knives that no one knows what to do with just to confuse us Brits.

 

[Aluco]

I always wondered this. Do you reckon its some kind of anchorage for the production line or something :S ?

 

[JCC]

Mine has them too. My sub and amp cables are tie wrapped to them at the mo.

Its a front isofix point for rear facing child seats.

 

[pip.]

So you can tie your car up in a tree so no one pinches it?

So you can winch it up to your penthouse flat?

 

[DrR]

Does it matter? There just extra anchor points for anything you may be carrying.

Don't be rediculous! :rasp:

 

[Tom]

Its something like that, theres a couple in the back on the floor too.

It doesn't matter at all, no. I was just curious.

 

[Greeny.]

wrong side of bed this morning? :dead:

 

[StevenMc29]

For hiding condoms in?

 

[iimushroomzii]

For hiding weed in?

Correct.
