Reg Plate fell off

Washing the car today and noticed that the front reg plate was just about hanging on. It is held on by double sided sticky pads so I pulled it off completly. As I did, a bolt fell out of a hole in the center front of the car :shock: (usually covered by the reg plate) see picture below. I could see a threaded hole at the bottom of the larger hole so screwed it back in but what is it holding on? :?: It falling out dosn't seem to have effected anything.

I believe that it is part of the front bumper fixing.

I have taken the forums advice as always and drilled a hole in the reg plate so I can get the stating handle in :shock: :lol: Will contact Mike Taylor to see if he has any spare handles :roll:
