Default Front bumper fender assembly question

See picture below.
Issue is that the part on the left (with the screw) is still in tact.:
53879 in this overview: http://www.japan-parts.eu/lexus/eu/2...er-stay#52197E

My question is: what is the part in the red circle that is attached to the bumper where the part above needs to be clicked in or anything like that !??
Is that available so that I can repair this myself?

That is indeed what the clip gets clamped to, but I don't know if it's replaceable or not. Good luck.

I found a bit more clue 😀.
This photo from a diy grill change. That small white plastic part, mine seems a bit broken at the bottom compared to this one. it seems the retainer needs to slide of this part so it clicks in.. I will try if I can click it back in somehow..

I just looked at mine. It appears the part it clips on to is part of the quarter panel, so that's a bummer. Hopefully there's still enough there to clip on to well enough.

It's part of the bumper. try bolting it on as best you can. should be fine.

if not, not a big deal. all it does is hold the fender liner. you can repair the tab if you want by folding some aluminum or steel over it (use snips to cut it out of a soda can, drill a hole)

you can get clever. can also use fiber glass for a more proper fix.
