For one point, tell me exactly what car (make and precise model) features this.

This appears on the Vauxhall Corsa glovebox hinge, the story goes that one of the designers was dared by another to put a shark motif somewhere on the design, he did, and it made production!

It is from the Vauxhall and Opel Corsa D, the current model.

Well done Neilshouse, that's the anwer, and it appears on some (but not all!) Corsa D models to be exact.  Another point to your considerable tally.

Still looking for a job probably...!
