Question Putting in a cupholder

Hi guys I just bought an OEM cupholder for my C43!

The instructions in the box came for a 203 C-klasse??
Why not for a zwei nul zwei C-klasse?
Scheize!
Verdamt!

Well, I guess I don't have to be a braniac with a Phd to instal this cupholder?
I removed the lose plastic compartment in the front of the armrest.
I see there are 2 plastic bracket hinges where I should slajd the cupholder in place to sit tajt!

But inside the delivery box there was another lose part a plastic rail with 2 small holes, 1 hole for each end I should screw it somewhere?

Is this lose plastic rail bolted on, on one of the plastic hinges inside the compartment where the cupholder sits tajt?
Should I bolt it on the passengers side hinge or drivers side hinge?

Pleeeez let me know!
Vielen dank
Tschüs

The rail is used for installation into early W202's (like in my 94) where is not an existing rail. It will not be needed in your application.

oh, so it was just added in the box for pre 1999 cars?
I don't have to use it then?
It's only to slajd it in then?

Sounds good, thanks man!
