Just been outside cleaning my car this afternoon.Started cleaning underneath the number plate on the front splitter(MY00) and tucked between the splitter and the grill(radiator) was this...
It was loose so i pulled it out.Question is: what the hell is it and is it vital. I have no idea so maybe someone can enlighten me.

 

isnt it from behind your number plate ?

 

dont think so.Number plate seems to be still on and secure but i could check in morning.Its too late now and dark and i get scared going outside because of the bogeyman....

 

It's the flingel splange come loose. Nothing to worry about.

 

Are you sure about that Mr555??? Looks like the hingla duplex multi violocity insert to me......

 

Looks like a white rectangle with a red cross in to me...?

I keep finding those on my PC, funnily enough... )

 

All fantastic and immensley informative replies guys!!
thanks for your efforts.I have made a mental note to return the favour at the earliest opportunity.

 

have u checked your number plate, im sure when I changed mine, I had to drill out the old bolts, and there was a metal bracket behind there

Cheers

Steve

 

it looks like part of the warp drive or the plasma relay?

 

It cant be the warp drive.
Thats from MY01 only

It looks like a kitchen floor but its difficult to tell with that number plate backing plate in the way

 

The twin hole and slot configuration quite clearly ID this as a random vector plotter. I should replace it at your earliest opportunity unless you don't want to get lost again!

 

deffo number plate bracket.

 

hard to tell whether its the lower mounting bracket for the standard subaru flux capacitor??

or the overhead spangel valve adjustment plate. either way i would get down to your nearest dealer straight away

 

It's the Flux Capacitor...

...just wait until you next hit 88mph!

Nope - it's definitely the dilithium crystal retaining bracket. It's a Scooby captain, but not as we know it.....

 

Right....just checked the number plate and it is securly fastened.So apart from Back to the Future and Star Trek sundries, it must have been left there by the last person to fix new plates on.
Drove into work this morning and nothing was unusual so i will keep driving in ignorance...

thx for all the replies.

 

Just out of curiosity, do any of the grooves or holes line up with the holes in number plate?

 

dunno.
will try it when i get home

 

I know what it is, it's the giggling pin which should be connected to the laughing shaft

 

yeah it is the number plate bracket and the slots do line up with the slats in the bumper. i have been messing with it this weekend when i was fitting my splitter!!!! nout to worry about

 

d6ale you star.
thx for that, a clear and consise reply amidst the normal amount of pap....
to be honest the replies kept me amused.me thinks our guys and gals have too much time on their hands.
What splitter were you mucking around with..repairing or putting a new one on?

 

lol

so I was right

 

Sonic-sorry you were the first with the number plate idea so credit where due.
just seemed a tad odd, since the plate is secure as hell but with this spare bit of metal kicking around.I'm not worried now.

 

Certainly looks like a number plate fixing.

just got my splitter back from being painted. so i was fitting it! the number plate has to be moved down onto the splitter and it leaves that bracket behind. which you unbolt and remove.

car looks mean now! well impressed. i'll get soem pics up soon!

 

splitter is an MRO one by the way!

 

Maybe the car will fall off the number plate...

 

PMSL

 

it's a fronton fortox!!! (bet no-one knows what film thats from???)
