What is this mini part? i've no clue.

I'm now trying to fit a MCS bumper onto my one (currently having problem with the foglight position difference), in the box, this unknown part came with it as well. have no clue what it is, can't read german either. Anyone knows what it's used for?

I was introduced to RealOEM last week...

I cant really tell what that part is...but in terms of the foglight position, you do know that you have to re-drill correct? There are marked holes, and you need to drill them out and replace the foglight mounts in there.

i'm done with installing it but the screws beneath the bumper doesn't fit the holes (they're at different places, the MCS is alot shorter so the bumper doesn't reach the holes) is there any other parts needed to connect the bumper to the body (from beneath the bumper)?

LOL, you only wanted to know what it was...

Really, I was suprised to be able to find it at all... I can only imagine that you figured it out by now. The "blow-up" picture kind of puts it into its place I think.
