Anybody know what this is ?
It is at the rear, lower than the reg plate. I am pretty sure it is meant to sit flush but is sort of poking out a bit at the top.
It doesn't want to push in, and trying to pull it out feels like something is going to break so I'm afraid to exert too much pressure.
Pretty sure I haven't noticed this before when washing the car which suggests it has popped out for some reason.
Only thing that has happened recently was a visit to the dealer but that was for headlight adjustment so not sure they would have disturbed this thing at the rear.
Car is 2018 P380 convertible V6
What's this ?

I suspect it's the cover plate where, when removed, the towing eye would screw in. Mine sits flush, so I'd think it should just click back in if you push it a bit.

That’s correct - and if ever used note the LH thread or you’ll be there a while

Push it down as well as in to get the top lug to ease in, it should just clip back.

Not removed mine on the f-type, but removed others can usually get a trim tool or a very flat blade and pry it out if you cannot push from behind from underneath, just a bit of flexing of the bumper with your fingers while pushing it should ease it back in, (I'd do it clean so not to rub the dirt)
More intrigued how it came out, any signs of a bump? There does seem to be a tiny divot in the top edge like it's been pryed out although that could be a bit of dirt?
