Can anyone help me find the DIY link for the above?
I remember seeing it a while ago but can't find it anymore.
Thanks.

I've came across your DIY of course, but it's for the rear sockets only right?
The one I mean is in the black plastic trim in the boot (under the boot-lid).
Part 25 below:

But actually there are 2 versions, one for the through loading with 12v socket hole and one without (the one that I have).
So there goes the idea of just putting a socket in there. I suppose that hole could be cut out but I don't like stuff that's not perfect.

That's the actual socket which I know about. I'm talking about the bit of trim that houses the socket above.
