Need help ! Someone with part # info or anyone else that thinks they can help
Ok.. as a followup to the "dropped screw" saga, it ended up coming out from under the car somewhere along I95 
So the short of it is that I am now missing that screw that holds the plastic drivers side engine cover in place. Its a torx screw head and for some reason, Audi parts can't figure out which part it is. I looked at their parts diagram and it doesn't even have it shown as a part of the engine bay cover.
For reference, it is the plastic cover seen in "Left bulb replacement, step 5" of http://webpages.charter.net/parkhill/RS4/DIY/DRL&CLBulbChange.pdf
Does anyone have a part number for this or can think of a way I can get it, short of clubbing the parts guy over the head and searching for it myself on their system?

Yea, that is the pic audi has too.. Note that the part is not shown !
On the driver side engine cover, there is a screw that holds the front most thin lip against the front of the car.
This is the problem, that audi parts doesnt know the part exists. Damn.. just my luck
Ideas?

Now, for the first time, see the parts that Audi DOESN'T want YOU to SEE !
No but seriously, see how these parts (the screw hole on the right of the plastic engine cover picture) and the hole it attaches to inside the engine bay are not listed in the part number catalog you posted (and the parts guy had) ??
Any ideas?
