This just dropped off

Does is serve any significant purpose? I found it wrapped around the front tyre.

Exhaust heat shield?

Usually they just get jubilee clipped to stop them rattling

Yes indeed, Chris. The other one is still on the car. Looks like it does sweet FA to me.

It looks like there is actually four of them. Top and bottom of each pipe. Is it essential or purely cosmetic?

Why would it be cosmetic when it's under the car? :)

They are heat-shields and designed to keep the heat in so your cats can warm up quicker as cats are more efficient the hotter they are - they eventually rust-up and fall off anyway so no great loss.
