E53 front bumper part

The other day I nudged a cone in a car park and later I noticed that part of the lower front bumper trim appeared to be missing. There are rubber straps hanging down which I assume held it in place. I have scoured the internet to identify the part without success. Any ideas please? Car is a 2005 facelift E53 3.0d SE.

Can you take a picture? Rubber straps sound a bit strange.

Having a problem with uploading images. I'm wondering whether this is in fact an under vehicle tray of some description that has fallen off?

It does look like item number 11, thank you very much for your help on this. I will get this confirmed at my local garage and get the part ordered.

I'm not sure #11 is right... that part is well back inside. I think you mean #12.

The front bumper itself has five plastic "tabs" that hang down and are bolted to the front sub-frame. These may look like "rubber straps" hanging down if torn loose (and they DO tear loose...): -



If they are free, they are likely split (like mine) and can be simply bolted back down...

If the trim panel behind it missing (part #12 is the diagram linked above) firstly, go back to the scene and try to locate the panel - it's large and expensive!

Pretty unlikey a simple road cone could take this off though - it's very well attached.

Front bumper is part #1 :-

You're not going to replace that cheaply!

Thanks Wayne, the highlighted areas are indeed the items I have referred to. I did suspect that the missing part is item number 12. Only I did search for the part, at the point of impact with cone and the adjacent area but didn't find anything. It was a lorry parking area that I was turning around in, so couldn't spend too much time there. I have seen used items on Ebay around £50, so if it is in fact that part at least the pain is numbed!! I am getting the car up on a ramp this weekend so will get a definitive answer.
