Exclamation Mechanical spring found. should I be worried?

Found this while I was installing my front diffuser. Should I be worried.

in the pictures, it appears to have been there for a while.. have you had the car for a while? can you tell ANY difference in driving feel, engine noises, responsiveness, etc? if the answer is no? I wouldnt worry about it. cant for certain identify the spring, but if you don't notice anything unusual, id just keep an eye on it, keep ya ears open for weird sounds, and carry on.

I cannot immediately think of anything that spring could be for. Was probably just debris that you picked on the road.

I found a valve spring on the bottom some time ago but I knew it was from a recall.
