Hi Frank
Perhaps if I posted a picture of the completely non-existent cill on my donor car it would cheer you up!
Because of their susceptibility to rust they will become quite rare soon---and therefore achieve some value---or so I keep telling myself!!
Regarding the mystery item there is a 2cm gap between the spikes and the inside face of the bumper so I cannot see how it can have any function at all.
Incidentally I did not mention before but it is made of a hard plastic material.
Ben,
It's a genuine part and listed on eper as 5981746 Wick? not that it helps much!
The part it superseded is shown as a pad, which also doesn't help, my own feelings are that it's something to do with stopping the bumper being pushed back ofar in a low speed collision.
