It was making a rattling noise as the pokey bits on the top made contact with the tire (while turning sharply to the right)

To be clear it was screwed in when you found it and you removed the screw to remove it?

    Correct! It was causing a rattle when making a left turn. Removed, and rattle is gone

    If you put it back in the position it would be if the screw was tight and rotate it round are there any little holes the pins would locate into? Potentially in the wheel arch liner?

    No other connection points in the wheel well. It was hanging down away from the attachment point.

    Checked a wheel arch liner using that parts page linked in this thread, and it doesn't have anything similar looking 🫠.

    This thing is driving me nuts
