Ok... so I found this:

And now is the question... where it should be mounted and where should wiring goes inside trunk?
Anyone know ... maybe there is any manual about it?

Sits just below bumper. You will have to remove bumper and maybe muffler to get all mounting bolts in. Plug cable enters behind spare tyre via a rubber grommet.

Great

Is it mounted under bumper "holders"?? - 2 bolts/side and under "back" pockets 2 addional mounting holes which should be drilled as I see

I found original manual but is really poor quality and is in German which I don't understand too much.

Hopefully you have all the mounting plates.

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

First try...

But how they make that mounting holes on each side... there's really little space out there to use drill. I don't know

I have to figure out something.

Nameplate... not brand new but all can be read

I have to remove exhaust and rear heatshield to make that holes

hope it will work.

What for?... for example (i found somewhere on internet that photo):

I had to make new plates like that (thanks for photo)

That was only thing I didn't have but I make in my work two almost identical to original ones but from stainless steel... no rust

I can confirm it's possible to use small drill from inside lugage compartment. But lower hole I make from outside

Right now I complete with 4 mounitng bolts with bumper holders (I add new imbus screws there to make it easy to put in or out) and I make that two holes on fuel pump side

Still have to remove rear heat shield and drill last two holes... hope it will be enough space under car to do this on left side.

As I know plug cables shouldn't go through (behind) spare tire... but somewhere on left side of lugage compartment. I check that later

I replace one rivet which was missed on nameplate, now all looks great

After 3 hours I made polish mounting manual...

That poor photo was enough hopefully. I'll made original "good quality" german manual later, maybe someone will need it too.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/szod8rj06ymcbmu/y97rLFcHAr

I wonder is there any complete manual online... or maybe someone got one??

Thanks

I wonder where that cable should really go

Mine is original and I really can't trace where it should go

or it was too short. Manual doesn't say anything about wiring, only that you can buy it separately.

I wonder how to make it look better

I can make a how to install "that thing" if someone is interested in it? I just need to find proper way to install connection wires...
