Name of body part around rear wheel

    Lately I've been hearing a slight rattling sound, like something was loose in my boot, especially when I might go over a drain or a speedbump. Had a look around (2004 Fiesta) and I notice the casing around my rear passenger wheel is falling down on the wheel. What is this part called? Going to bring it to a panel beater this week to take a look but would like to do a bit of research first.

    My rear bumper looks to be a bit "shifted", I have a sneaking suspicion my car might have been bumped into in a carpark recently.

    Thanks

    Do you mean the wheel arch lining?

    Yep, that appears to be it alright. Looks like a quick enough fix. Thanks Biko!

    that thing isn't metal. On the fiesta they are held on with screws similar to these

    They were missing on my fathers 2012 fiesta.

    No, it's a kind of plastic lining, but it's making a creaking/rattling noise. Now, it could be something else too, but that's just what I saw when I went for a look. You might guess by how I'm describing things that I know very little about these things... Probably bring it to the cousin who works a lot with Fords, hopefully he'll have some of those pegs to hand. Thanks.

    Op never mentioned the part being metal. OP you can screw it back on yourself if you feel like it or take it to a panel beater and they would re align your back bumper for ya. Quick job really so should be easy on the pocket.

    Edit- JUst saw your post, your cousin will sort ya
