What belongs here? Left front wheel well cover
The left front wheel well cover has some kind of a bracket for 2 round objects. What should be in this bracket? Before I make a new one I would like to know if it serves any purpose. Thanks for any pictures and explanations!

But honestly it is a quite stupid design. Fabricate a retainer that attaches directly to the fender brace so the hose isn't attached to:
1) A removable cover - which is difficult to manage for re-installation with the hose attached...
2) A brittle (eventually) piece of plastic which the hose mount will usually damage
What you have remaining here is unusual - typically the hose & (UU) mount are just laying in the bottom of the fender and the splash shield has cracks & holes at the mounting points. Seems at some point the hose simply wasn't re-installed - so no stress on the mount or panel.

That's actually a cup holder for holding your coffee cup "after" you've spilled half your coffee in your freak'n lap...on account they never put one on the "inside" of the car.
You simply remove the inner fender, loosen the screws, slip your cup in, and a passengers if needed...that's why it has two openings, then tighten the screws to hold them in place, reinstall the inner fender and drive a mile down the road. Then come to a stop...and duplicate the whole procedure as before.
It's really a pretty ingenious system. No wonder these cars cost so much originally.
