Found a couple of things lurking in the base of the spare wheel / jack area , anybody got any ideas what these are for?:-

First one is a rubberised/plastic clip or fitting about 5cm long, 2.5cm deep and 2.0cm wide (ish) with a couple of direction/turn arrows on the top suggesting clockwise direction turn.

second item is a rubberised strap for holding something down, but no idea what it's for.

Jim, hi

That's strange because I can see them when I look at the post?

I'll link them again below

The plastic thing looks like the cover shroud for the front tow hook...

The strap could be a battery lifter...

I think the strap is for holding the compressor in position within the spare wheel.

I agree with the last post. The clip is to cover the front tow eye and the strap is to secure the country compressor in the spare wheel. I know because I strapped mine in yesterday pre trip to Simply Porsche tomorrow!

Many thanks to all who have given me the clues/info as to what they are for. I won't be throwing them away now I know what they are supposed to be for.

cheers :D
