Front end rattle

Hi folks, looking for some help as T6 has developed an annoying front end rattle. It sounds like a piece of plastic or heat shielding rattling against something metal like body panel when going over some bumps. Sounds like near front drivers side wheel arch. I have had undertray off and cant find anything obvious. It doesn’t sound like the knock you get when anti-roll link goes- it much more “flappy” sounding. Im convinced its a bit of loose trim or heat shielding but nothing appears loose.

Are there any known bits of trim or anything in the panels that are known to come loose in this area?

Thanks in advance
 
Probably best to post a recording of it, could be anything.
When is it heard;
Engine running but stationary?
Engine running, stationary, clutch depressed?
Does it increase with engine speed?
Does it increase with road speed?
Is it worse when turning?
Does it stop when braking?

After weeks I have discovered problem. Was edge of bonnet rattling on front wing. Have put a small packer under the rubber bonnet stopper and it is cured.

You can see where it has been making contact in photo.

Have a look on the underside of your bonnet - there should be four screw-in rubber stops. They can be wound in and out. Might need adjusting. On the other hand, might be nothing to do with it!
