Default What is this

I just bought a C4 and this black plastic part that's at the bottom and behind the license plate. It has a funny plug that looks damaged.
What is it? can't find it on a schematic.
Thanks

Can't tell for sure, but looks like it could be the 'nut' for the spare tire carrier.

That is the top of the hanger for the spare tire holder. Turn it 90 degrees and hang it in teh top of the bracket if you have the space saver spare. There is a lower hanger point for the full size spare.
