ran over this.......what is it
so I nipped to the shops in the impreza after washing her and as I pulled out of the junction I heard a load of clonking as if something dropped from my car,went around the wheel arch and ended up on the road so I turned around and found this........
is it part of my impreza? I bloody hope not lol

- To be fair, it does look like it could be part of the block casing to me!
- Could it not be part of one of the engine mounts, also? But usually, if you have a failure like that, the noise it makes would be awful. I had an engine mount fail in my old Clio 16V and it sounded like a massive bottom end failure!
Did the car make any noise after you carried on driving?

That looks like something that'd be attached to something rather large and heavy, like a subframe, mounting, gearbox casing, engine block or hub carrier etc.
You'd know if it was off your car although I have seen cars with massive holes in gearbox casings still be driveable.
Probably just debris from a previous accident.
