Actually I've had a look on Real OEM and I think it's 'Covering Right' part number 51711916186 but damned if I know where it goes or what it does. It came with my convertible when I bought it but the seller didn't have a clue either.

Any ideas?

They are in two parts and the bit you have attaches to the seat.

Thanks guys. I can stop scratching my head now. Actually, not quite - which bit of which seat does it attach to?

Btw, jbh, is that you pulling that slide in your avatar video? It's awesome! Love the way it just flicks back in after the slide.

you have the bracket for a fire extinguisher.
now you need the holder and fire extinguisher to finish it off.
