thanks for the tip, yes the 2 'bumps' I had to pop em out just in case as was worried driving around without the missing plastic part that pushes them in place they would drop out.....the land rover latch cover near same fit interesting and after scanning realoem cannot make heads of tails of what part is actually sold the whole unit or just one part....part 29 is greyed out and on my car it is not as per pic it is part of the whole unit that houses the reg number lights too....
