EDIT I asked on Facebook too, apparently they are £6.85+vat from Toyota!  :D

Someone appears to have reversed gently into the rear bumper of my 2 last night   (:< >:) right over the little grey lattice insert on the drivers side of the number plate. I found it on the floor behind my car this morning and and "imprint" in the dirt around area on the bumper that it fitted. I wiped the dust off and it hasn't visibly scratched the paint,  (hoping that was due to low speed light contact) however one of the little lugs on the latticed insert has broken off so it now won't reseat.

Has anyone got a spare drivers side insert that they could let me have for sensible money? Or does anyone know if you can just get the lattice bit from Toyota?  :)

I got this pic from Google to help to identify the bit:

Those inserts are designed to pop out easily, as they cover the towing point. They get tired and loose over time and sometimes just drop out on their own volition.

They can be bought individually on EBAY, I believe.

Thanks @Carolyn I've found them and they are only £7.99 +P&P so I'm very happy!
