    What is this?

    Had the car on the ramp today and noticed this bolted to the chassis. What is it for?

    The one on the drivers side seems to be bent, should I replace it?

      I thought that maybe, for the original wee jack supplied in the tool kit?

          I thought that too, in this case the driver's side looks to have worked!

              And also the underneath of the car one of mine is even more crushed so they do work.

              What's the part number, how much, are they NLA? Are they on every C4 car or just urS6 cars?

              Thanks.

                  ha, i guess CAT protection makes sense... I've used mine as jacking points on many occasions.

                    Agree. The C4 UrS4 and UrS6 also have these. Item 40 in the diagram. PN 4A0253583B "U profile for floor plate". Common across the C4 UrS4/S6 and S2s but not showing as an RS2 part.

                      Have these on my ABY too, use them for the jack stands, not protecting the exhaust at the moment, more like the exhaust is protecting them

                        Yeah cat protection, dont try jacking on them as they will likely just buckle
