Something snapped off - what was it?

[Jjs646]

E36 318i (1997) Underneath the front bumper, drivers side there’s a plastic flap which had a clip and screw (photo from last time it came unhooked). It looks to have come unclipped and the bit with the screw has snapped off on the motorway. Any idea what it is or where I can get a replacement?

Thanks in advance!

It's not needed if it fell off and you don't notice any changes.
