Can anyone identify this part - part number of description? Please see photos. I cannot get one in Australia. It's the3 black plastic bit, but for the Left Hand Side.

 

Yorta2, looking at the parts listing, the part you are after is considered part of the front bumper cover. It is not sold separately. So, the only way to get what you are after is to find a bumper cover and take it from that. Hopefully you can find an X-Type that was involved in a wreck on the right side and you can pick up the destroyed bumper cover for cheap and then be able to salvage the piece you need from that. I can't see a wrecking yard asking a lot for a destroyed bumper cover.

 

Thermo, thanks so much. It makes sense now. The part is pop-riveted to the bumper cover and I could not find it in my parts catalogue (although it is for earlier models).
To find any X Type parts in Australia is either very difficult or so expensive. I will attempt to find a dismantler who has a badly damaged cover. Getting it out to me will still be expensive, though.

 

This?

Thanks, Dell, but no, not the actual bumper cover, but the plastic brace that is pop-riveted inside the cover. Your 2nd photo would not open for me.

 

i believe the bumper cover may have changed in 06 or 07.

 

Yorta - hoping that you are not yet again doing to attack me for some unknown reason:
Yes, obviously, things attached via rivets are not a separate part...
Such a part would only be at the wreckers, or on facebook-marketplace, if you find a listing, were someone is wrecking an X-Type.
The alternative is to get a piece of sheet-metal, and make one yourself - would be better than nothing - and it is not a visible part.

PS: The closest wreckers from Nowra for you would probably be Sydney. I once bought a lot of X-Type parts from "New Model Wreckers" in SYD. But it is possible, that the X-Type is meanwhile not any more NEW enough for them...

 

Thanks for your input, Peter. I have a good panel beater friend of the old style and he has fabricated a new part (from steel) and installed it for me. He can handle plastic welding and beautifully repaired my damaged bumper cover, as well. He is a wizard!
