CA Please ID this part!

Hey guys,

So I was looking at my 8 and I noticed part of the fog light assembly was missing. Could someone have popped this out??

I just need to know what its called so I can get a new one. It covers the metal grills behind the fog lights, looks like it's completely cosmetic only - for looks. What do you think it's called?

Thanks!

that is an after market screen to protect the OIL COOLER behind the fog lights...

Thanks guys - that would make sense!

Now my question is, do you know where I could find one that is plain? I've been searching and found one's that are metal grills. I just want black plastic like my other one.

Any ideas for those kinds of parts?

Thanks again

I've only seen the metal mesh one.

They come in black also.

Do you have an auto? I think you may have an auto with only one oil cooler on the drivers side and so you are talking about the OEM plastic block off piece that goes on the passenger side since there is no oil cooler there.

Yes I have an automatic. Dear god that makes no sense why would they do this - here I am thinking someone stole it or it popped out during a canyon run.

Well that explains it all - thanks everybody

I at least wish they made it so they would both get covered or look the same. Oh well

Thanks =]
