What is this for?

[jamesg]

Wondering what this bit of plastic is for (circled in red) as it was broken off on mine when I got it?

It's just the plate that the rubber bonnet striker rests on.

Not the plastic "turret" type bits where the rubber on the bonnet rest. I meant the bit attached to the side of the nearside one, circled in red.

There are two fixing holes in the bonnet where it meets this part, with nothing attached. Just wondered what it was for??

[Trevor]

You are of course correct. I have no idea what it is/was for, mine is identical.

[jamesg]

Mine has always been broken off and the molding seems part of a much larger piece, so just wondering! Some kind of bonnet alarm extra??

[Trevor]

Here it is in all it's glory.

   

I have no idea what it's for, anyone??

I'm guessing it's a sensor to detect an open bonnet, for while I do not know, under bonnet lighting? or alarm maybe?

[Opensauce]

Mine broke off yrs ago & I cleaned up the break with a file. Maybe its to lift the moulding during production?

It is for the sensor alarm. Not availeble in belgium no idea in england.
