R8 plastic bits

Picture 1 - What is this?

A- A glove compartment extra?

B- A handle for opening the engine compartment?

C- A piece of plastic that does nothing in an R8?

Picture 2 - Where should it be found?

A- Attached to a cable to release the engine compartment?

B- In the glove compartment with the mints?

Picture 3 - Who is this man?

A- local R8 enthusiast- come to see the legendary spare piece of plastic that comes with all R8’s?

B- A repair man, come to fix the Chairman's car after he ripped the engine release handle off, and put it in the glove compartment, telling no-one, and leaving the poor FD unable to put oil into a £90,000 car when the warning light came on?

Re: R8 plastic bits
