Whilst replacing a broken front number plate the grommet that the bracket screws into on the bumper ended up inside the bumper and I can't retrieve it. I removed the bracket to straighten it out.

Any idea what I need to buy to replace it? Neither Eurospares or Scuderia show the UK spec bracket on their website. I'm sure I could use something non Maserati, but I've got no idea what to ask for.

Thank you very much - It is indeed - the ebay listing shows it clearly, and the part numbers match. I'm not familiar with rubber rivnuts, so I wouldn't know if this was normal or not.

Now to figure out the most cost / time effective way to get hold of one - postage puts the cost up to £11 for 1 - maybe I'll try a main dealer

Presumably you’ve got the bolt so you can measure the thread diameter.

For example let’s say it’s 6mm. Go on to eBay and search for “M6 rubber rivnut”

You’ll find something like this.

M4 M5 M6 M8 Brass Thread Rubber Rivnuts - Rivet Nutserts Rubnuts - Insert Nuts | eBay

Rubber Rivet Nuts. These Rubber Nut Inserts are manufactured from Neoprene or E.P.D.M. Rubber and contain a brass nut insert/thread. They do not need a special tool to set (a screwdriver will work fine).

They push in from the front and the bolt compresses them as you do them up.
