Anyone Seen This Top Dash Pocket Before?

My mate has one of these in his 205, looks pretty neat and cant work out if it's an aftermarket addition?

 

Always thought the space was wasted a little with the standard blanking plate.

Standard on all ph1.5/2 gtis most base models had a blank.

but that one still has it's spring!!!!! My 1.1 has one, too! (didn't when it left France, though :-) )

my rolland garrios has it to

Does anyone actually use it though?

 

I'm so paranoid that it's going to break that I don't think I've ever actually used it for its original purpose in 8 years of 205 ownership

Nope, never used, useless flimsy thing! Most delicate part of the dash, mine did work for a couple weeks then snapped one of the hinges, it had a spring as well!

[Josh_Quant 27]

yeah mine works fine and always has

[engine killer 6]

mine has it and didn't use it for long since i bought that replacement set.

 

reason i don't use it anymore is simply because i do not want to stick blutac underneath after a few months.

ive got the key to my glove box in mine as ive got a different lockset on mine

yep, i used mine once,, it broke the spring fell out..... now it just rattles

I guess more would be used if we had cheaper road tolls everywhere!

The bridge into Wales is a rip off, used to be cheap as chips years ago. But its free to escape the place

Bloody speed bumps in the car park at work broke mine! viscious things!

[steve@cornwall 100]

You'll find something in every one of mine!!! very useful

Used it once for coins then forgot about it for ages. Feels really fragile.

It is now used for a boost gauge pod

Never knew you could have a pocket there, I'll have to look in the rallye see if I have one.

 

How do you open it if you do have one??

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

I hunt for these when at scrap yards!!

[Josh_Quant 27]

Ideal place for thr durex i thinks

haha some great comments here!

 

Yeah it looked pretty weak, just interested as I've always wanted to create some sort of fold out satnav holder thingy in that panel.

 

I want to completely over-engineer a hinge and folding mechanism... and make it make transformer noises too...

 

anyway, i'll keep my eye open for one at the scrappies now
