Grocery bag hooks in F30 330d - Cheap & Easy fit mod

Finally managed to fit two grocery bag hooks, using parts from VW bins – following this excellent guide, here: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=919563

Here's the finished project:

I ordered the VW hooks from Amazon US:

Cost of hooks = £6 ($8)
Self-tapping screws = 60p

I used 6mm self-tapping screws with some washers to keep it all in place.

An added bonus from this mod is that engine output has (probably) increased by at 20 BHP, due to shopping bags not being thrown around in the boot.

Health & Safety & Wealth Warning:
Attempt this only at your own risk. If you drill holes in the bodywork, stab yourself with a runway drill or get eye damage through fine metal filings floating about in the confined space of the boot or damage some cunningly hidden piece of kit, don't blame me

Ensure you use short screws that won't penetrate the bodywork.
