rusted bracket

Hi guys

I hope one of you knowledgeable chaps can help?

Ok so at the weekend I had a cobra exhaust fitted. Had a look under the car when I got home just to see what it looked like, very nice I thought. But notice a bracket to the right of the exhaust was completely rusted to bits. I think it's supposed to hold the bottom part of the inner wheel arch trim in place.it's quit big, but a pressed bracket, it's on the right of the heat shield. Can anyone tell me what it's called please. I've searched a bit but can't really find anything.it goes without saying I want to replace it immediately, if not sooner lol I'm gonna pop to my local dealer tomorrow and see if they can get one. Sorry it's a bit vague guys

sorry I didn't explain too well, the bracket in question is bolted up to the floor of the boot area in a couple of places, and the bottom part of the arch plastic liner is bolted to it through a couple of clips, it's quite hard to tell as most of it has rotted, and it's flapping about a bit.This was all hidden I guess by the stock exhaust box.

Thanks for the advise Mr ballistic. I was all excited when I got home on Friday with the noise of my cobra exhaust, and then horrified when I saw the state of the bracket lol. Now I've seen it, and know how bad it is, I've got to replace it, and I'm sure I can hear it rattle a bit, could just be my imagination.

I know the one you mean, mine was the same, no idea what it's calked, though. I just sold the car when I seen it...

I'm hoping I can get a replacement, it's only thin metal, so no wonder it's rotted.
