Need identifying part

GARSTAR · Post by **GARSTAR** » Fri Oct 27, 2023 2:30 pm

My wife accidentally backed on another car, the car is safe with 1 tiny scratch but something fell out and seemed broken. I honestly have no idea what it is. I was wondering if anyone can help me identify and if this is something i can replace myself?

Macan 2023 is the model just fyi. Thanks in advance!!

Is it attached? As in are you sure it's not part of the car she hit?

There is no evidence on that photo, of any nearby contact damage, except the slight scratch on the bumper, which would cause a part from another vehicle, to be lodged there. And on your car, I doubt if any plastic parts as shown, is affixed anywhere near the hot exhaust system.

Maybe driven over the part in the past, flicked it up and got lodged there? Just coincidence that youve seen it now you're looking in that area?

Pull it out and see if there's a part no on it

That looks like a trim fixing point to me , You could pull it off and see if there a part number/ manufacturer
