Any Ideas What This Is?

[LotusGTR]

Was washing my car (32 GTR) and found this at the base of the windscreen, almost under the back of the bonnet. I'm not even sure it's automotive but it has a stamp on it. Any clues? Car is parked in my front garden so could be some random thing??

Looks like welding wire

its a stainless steel (316L grade) TIG welding filler rod. have you got stainless steel intercooler pipes? could be left over from an install.

Thanks guys......No welding under bonnet that I'm aware of. I'm not going to commit to figuring out how a welding filler rod could randomly appear on my car.......

could be that the car was getting worked on at some point and they dropped something down around the engine and used that to get what they dropped. then they simply put it where you found it while they continued working and forgot about it.

Yeah, I've had a screw driver left in the channel formed by the front guards and the bonnet. Even handed it in a week later to the owner who said it wasn't his......
