hi guys,im a happy new owner of a honda fit 2007 model. its bought from a preowned car dealer and everything was fine when i took over the car, i understand that the car was involved in a minor car accident before but seller insist that theres nothing wrong with the car. Until today, when i lift the bonnet and view the engine bay,i noticed that theres this metal piece that broke off (im sorry im a car noob) probably due to the accident before. My concern now is,will this be detrimental to the car as a whole? will there be any major issue and whats the complications. Attached is a photo i borrowed and the parts that broke off is circled in RED. Please advice ANYONE!

 

Hard to tell the metal piece that broke off. Maybe you can take a close up shot of it.

 

Hi bro its seems to hold the side of the front light to the main body frame or something.im sorry i really dont know much bout cars

 

I'm gonna take a stab and say its the bracket for the headlight. Nothing to worry about when it comes to structural integrity on the vehicle IMO.

 

Just looked at that area on my car. All I saw is the plastic headlight housing bolted on to the car frame bracket (metal). If that's the case then it has nothing to do with how your car runs ("detrimental to the car as a whole? will there be any major issue and whats the complications")or relate to any major issues. But a close up shot would help a lot so we (others in the forum) can see it a bit better and maybe give you a better answer.

 

Headlight housing integrity might be lost - no big deal, unless condensation inside the light becomes an issue. Is that headlight securely in place? If so I wouldn't worry.
