What holds this panel

I got a little to close to a curb and now the drivers side does this. I pushed it back and it stays until I drive again. I assume there is a clip or something that holds it?

Will it be blatantly obvious when I take it apart or what will I most likely need?

Thanks!



Yeah, I need to wash it.

there is a metal bracket that you hook up and slide it towards the back of the car to fasten the bumper.

OK, so, when I pull off the bottom panel, most likely that bracket is just sitting there and I can re-attach.

Thanks!

It looks like you may have broken off the little ear that the metal bracket grabs in order to hold the bumper. You may need to get a little creative an put in a screw to hold it flush.

It will make more sense once you get the tire off and remove the front wheel well liner.
