Hi there

I was driving along when I noticed a sound in my rear wheel. I stopped and found this inside. I'm unsure if I've went over it or it's fell off my car. Can anyone identify it please?

I have Renault Clio Initiale 2007.

Cheers

Looks like that's a piece of your brake rotor's dust shield.

As techturtle said, its lack doesn't pose an immediate danger, but since it keeps debris out of the brakes, you should get it replaced at your earliest convenience to avoid undue wear.

I don't have any specific knowledge of your car, but if replacing it does not involve moving the caliper, it would be straightforward to do yourself, if you're so inclined.
