Are you sure it's not the bonnet catch release? It's a flat arrow shaped bit of plastic. Pull when lifting the bonnet and it disappears when you fully close the bonnet.

Coool thanks!!! was worried because i made a booboo and trashed my car. After searching the net for most of the parts. I was worried the slam panel (sharing the same model as the puma) had a little bit extra lol

If anyone has a spare one of these they'd like to donate, I'd be very grateful.

They're an ideal mod for the TDCi as they get colder air into the filter

It directs the air through the hole in the slam panel up to the dirty air ducting.

The TDCi just sucks engine bay air from behing the headlamp so this part improves air flow.
