Well its shaped like a kitchen sink which is about the only thing not fitted... but my guess is that its related to the blue object on the right in the photo (a child's potty). It's an Audi OEM all-electric, heated commode for the passenger side (whose occupants usually complain that driving without a stop for 5 hours is beyond human endurance).

As a bit more of a clue, there's 2 items within which are not remotely connected....

The box in the front of the picture has a large section of wiring loom plus a fuse board in it - must weigh about 15kg as it's a bugger to lift! Somewhere within lies the bits I need for the rear part of the parcel, plus quite a lot I don't need.

As a bit more of a clue it's a retrofit project

The winner lol

It's a complete solar roof with frame, motor and huge section of loom from which to extract what i need for the solar wiring

Have Bose already

Upside of having the frame as well is its been well protected in transit and cost less than 20 quid to ship
