Black hole?

Still going through my newly bought Puma - trying to make sure all is ok - I noticed this empty "black hole" in the plastic engine cover. It seems as if it needs some kind of cover? What is it's purpose? I see it has 2 clips that used to hold something in there

If not - I assume it is where one puts your beer while working on the vehicle?

Looks the same as the picture in this thread so guess it is not missing anything.

(Ignore the home-made 2.2 sticker

)

Still no idea what the hole is for though....

It's the beer-holder for when you are working on the engine
