Frunk or Froot ?

[Gomev]

With so much discussion about putting the type 2 under the bonnet, the term Frunk seems to be the commonly used term.

Frunk is of course a combined word (a portmanteau) made up of FRont and TrUNK.

So how have we come to commonly use the American term Frunk instead of the British equivalent of Froot, (FRont bOOT ?

Both words sound awful.
Better to invent something different.

 

[Jomarkh]

My vote is for 'Frunk'

BONnet Down storAGE (BONDAGE)

 

[steveciavucco]

Definitely into that with a cable kept there!!!!!!

 

[steveciavucco]

CABle IN bonNET = cabinnet – play on words?
Think I still prefer "bondage"

I'd call it a Void as it's a place I'd (a)void when it came to stowing things

 

[Lguk]

I am Froot!
The real shame is that it's not slightly larger to accommodate the spare so you don't have to empty the boot in the even of a puncture.

 

[Alb]

I'm with you on that
It's an ideal space for something infrequently accessed like a spare and even better if there was room for a full size wheel.

Any ideas for purchasing or a DIY Frunk for an MG4 Trophy?

I don't want to lift my dirty bonnet on a wet & windy day. Happy to stick with cables in the boot.

does anyone know what supermarket "donated" basket fits best into the space. don`t want to "borrow" one unnecessarily. "nudge nudge you ain`t seen me"

postscript; Saved myself from being naughty. Read some-ones advice on here , am now storing charging cable bag on cover under bonnet . wet & windy days, boot is just as dirty as bonnet.

Can you not afford to buy a plastic one of the right size?

 

[5teep]

You should be aware that if a plastic pox is fitted in that space under the bonnet you should remove it before getting any dealer work done on the car. They tend to get upset about it

 

[smokie]

Good point - I don't use one but they removed my bagged cable from there at service time. I thought it had been nicked when i went to use it!

On a wet & windy day you will be putting wet & dirty cables into your nice clean boot
