Default Mystery bumper/stop

Ok, found this little beast hiding under the headlight bar near where the wire harness for the ignition amps is routed. Don't remember ever seeing this part before and have no idea where it is supposed to go.

that looks like a stop for the headlight bucket.
you will have to remove the fenderliner and block off plate to investigate.

Or remove the brake airduct and look up from the bottom of the car.

Otto-

Looks like you have some paint on the headlight yoke, telling me that someone carefully removed the stop for fender painting. They dropped it and it ended up stuck in something on the front apron, and finally came loose for you to find.

My SWAG, based on your picture.

The headlight washer nozzle end looks broken.

Actually not photos of my car, but thanks for the observations. Love my blue car, would also love to have green, garnet red or cassisrot.
