Found them in the boot.



First item is one of those foamy spongy thingies, no glue residues. Should I try to look where it might be missing or it is completely unrelated with the car?

Previous owners said those nuts are the anti-theft thingy for the wheels, but when I fitted new TPMS they were not needed, so...? I have 3 of them.

Thanks guys, I am a bit OCD sometimes. biggrin

The bolts have rubber sealing faces. Sump/oil tank plugs?

That square sponge looks familiar. I think it might have come from under the dashboard and covers up the unused lhd/rhd appropriate steering column hole blank - possibly, but most likely wrong.

Square foam was to wedge the tyre repair kit in to the space in the boot.

Thanks guys, I eventually put the foam thingy in the tyre repair kit under the bottle to keep it still, it looked the only logical place.

Any hints for the plugs?

I have another question for you, what is this hole in the engine cover? There is a headlamp symbol with a 1,0 %.

Opening for headlight adjustment?

I thought so, but it's only on one side. And according to this thread, the adjuster and actually somewhere else.
