When I first got my car, one of these was missing.

I checked my 'don't throw that away, it'll be useful one day' collection, and 
found that the hooks used in Germany to attach kitchen cupboards to walls are 
almost identical.  Just saw off the pointy end, clean it up a bit, run the 
right size of die up and down it a couple of times, and Bingo!

Indistiguishable from the real thing.  Probably _IS_ the real thing, knowing 
Bosch.
