nixy Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Now I've been driving the car for a little while one of the things I've noticed is the way the storage space is organised. I'm surprised there isn't more room but then again you guys don't have to stash your handbag somewhere! Having only a single slot CD player means there's nowhere convenient to put CD's where I can reach them whilst driving as well. Also how come there isn't another storage space behind the driver's seat the same as on the passenger side? What does everyone else use their storage space for? Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I tend to travel light so apart from CDs, sunglasses and phone, I don't need space for much else. Probably best to wait for Louis's reply because he would have to have kept his handbag somewhere too The space behind the drivers seat is full of sub woofer when you have the Bose. Quote
nixy Posted July 9, 2007 Author Posted July 9, 2007 so far I've got some cd's in the centre consol under the cup holders but I might just take the cup holders out because I never eat or drink in the car anyway. Quote
rickya Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Take the cupholder attachment out of the centre console box & that frees up a nice glovebox type space. Keep the passenger seat slightly forward & back a little up, this allows access to big cubby hole behind seat easily. Buy a couple of those nets that you put near both fotwells. Quote
sinbad Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 the space behind the drivers seat is left for the Bose Bass speaker. I stash 5-6 cds in my visor and have a cd wallet in the back of the passenger seat Quote
Stew Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I have the 6 cd bose so only have sunglasses, phone, charger, locking wheelnut thing and baby wipes! I want a horizontal cargo net for the passenger footwell but they never seem to be on ebay! Quote
nixy Posted July 9, 2007 Author Posted July 9, 2007 baby wipes? Is there something you want to share with us? Quote
Stew Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I sometimes take my niece out in my car. My mum gave me baby wipes to clean her hands and face after giving her an ice cream at the beach. They cleaned her so well that I kept them in there. Baby wipes rule! Quote
rickya Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 They sell similar type of net/pockets in Halfords, its a Japanese product with Jap writing on it; ps Boots have buy 1 get 1 free on baby wipes Quote
Stew Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 They sell similar type of net/pockets in Halfords, its a Japanese product with Jap writing on it; ps Boots have buy 1 get 1 free on baby wipes I might investigate the nets. I get my wipes free from mums house! Quote
Sarnie Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 The CD players house 6 CD's, how many do you want This car was designed to move golf bags not hand bags Quote
nixy Posted July 9, 2007 Author Posted July 9, 2007 I don't think I can put 6 in mine? What about the boot space - is there something you can get that stops people from seeing in? Quote
Stew Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 A jumper Nixy. Put your handbag in the boot space infront of the strut and stick a dark jumper over it. Nobody would see it! Alternativly, get your windows tinted for security! Quote
nixy Posted July 9, 2007 Author Posted July 9, 2007 I usually keep all my detailing stuff in the boot to stop anyone at home 'borrowing' it but it's all in 2 big holders which would look too tempting in the boot. Quote
M13KYF Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 is that what they call over the shoulder holders Quote
Stew Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Get a locked box in the garage for the detailing stuff! Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 What about the boot space - is there something you can get that stops people from seeing in? A tonneau cover will do this. Quote
Kuro Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Again I tend to try and travel light with the Zed Given that I too don't have the cargo net, stuff slides around too easily, plus there's always the chance that stuff could smack you in the head if you have a front impact collision You can however gets loads in the boot, as long as it's in flexible bags. Most suitcases seem to be a no-no, but I can get loads of shopping in it. You can get the cover to stop people seeing in, but that's only for half of the boot, so that's a bit of a pointless exercise really! The lesson is - travel light! Actually, with some effort you can get a fair bit in the spare wheel well, that's where I keep the a spare jacket, umbrella, first aid kit, torch, warning triangle, Multitools etc. Quite a lot of space really... Quote
nixy Posted July 9, 2007 Author Posted July 9, 2007 I've already got a thick net where the tonneau cover would go which you can't see through but you can still see over the bar and into the boot from outside - does the solid cover hide more? Good idea putting your brolly in the spare tyre area! Quote
GC350z Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 You can see over the bar into the boot? There should be another cover that fits here and is attached to the boot door. Think it's a stock item on UK spec cars. Guy Quote
Sarnie Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 You can see over the bar into the boot? There should be another cover that fits here and is attached to the boot door. Think it's a stock item on UK spec cars. Guy Yep its called the horizontal tonneau cover Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Here you go Nixy. Its a bit of a odd thing to photograph but you should get the picture - no pun intended Quote
