noise under my driver seat

Hey guys I think I got a coin/screw that went inside the vent/hole under the driver seat!

Do you know where this goes? I unscrew the subwoofer grill panel to see if it goes there but it doesn't!

The coin/screw moving left and right while doing hard turn is driving me nuts

I have a client with a 135 with the same issue, we spent an hour looking around and did not find the culprit.
I think you will need to pull out the seat and start stripping and shaking things that will be our next move. Good luck if you find something please let me know.

UPDATE!!!!

So I spend sometime this Sunday searching the web as to where the source of the noise could be and i fucking finally found the damn coin!

Is such an easy fix as well as a bloody 5c coin has slip under the leather that connects the knee bolster and the main seat.

If you pull the leather flap out you will see there is a little compartment then it can slide in there!!!

So in case you still haven't found the issue on your client's car Peter - go have a look in there!!!!

I feel like I can drive the car without being annoyed now...
