So I just found this part sticker in my car, and decided to make a game out of it for you guys. A double game even!
First: What part from which car does this sticker belong to?
Second: What company does the logo next to the Renault logo belong to?
I only know the answer to one of these, so I’m curious to see if the Oppo hivemind is able to sort out both of them.
EDIT:
MontegoMan and bhtooefr found the answer to the first question simultaniously: the sticker belongs on the pedal cluster/set of a Renault Twingo II, which makes it obvious why I found it in the footwell of said car.
AuthiCooper1300 found the answer to the second question: the logo belongs to a parts supplier called Cimos (which is Slovenian, just like the Twingo). This was the question I didn’t know the answer to, so hats off to AuthiCooper1300!

It came from a power window switch.

Pedal cluster from a Twingo II, but I’m lost on the logo.

That sticker was printed 7th of September 2011 at almost 11am. I imagine the part was made close to that time as well.

You’re right, and since both you and bhtooefr posted the correct answer at the same time, you guys have to share the prize. So you get +500 internet points instead of the full 1000.

That’s the right answer! You and MontegoMan answered at exactly the same time so you have to share the prize of 1000 internet points. So +500 internet points for you!

Nope, it was the pedal set/cluster as suggested by others. Good try though!

Is that second logo supposed to be the Lada/AvtoVAZ emblem?

That seems to be it indeed! I expected it to be a supplier, just hadn’t found the right one yet, thanks!

Personally I thought it was the logo of Samsung cars, another Renault-Nissan subsidiary, but apparently the logo belongs to a supplier named Cimos.

Apparently the logo belongs to a parts supplier named Cimos. (Didn’t know that either, you can thank AuthiCooper1300 for this piece of knowledge)

Nice quiz... it wasn’t easy!
Back in the day CIMOS/Cimos used to assemble Citroëns for sale in what was then Yugoslavia.
I suppose due to the 2CV connection they have entries both in the Dutch and German Wikipedias. But also in the Russian one (?)

Interesting, so there sort of is a Citroën-ish part in the Twingo. Funnily enough Revoz, the factory building the Twingos, was exactly the same but for Renault, assembling the Renault 4 (and a few others) for sale in Yugoslavia.
Dutchies love 2CV’s(though the Dutch page is a clear example of Google Translate usage), and Germans make wikipedias about almost everything. The third one does indeed seem to be Russian, but it’s odd to see the company doesn’t even have an entry in its native language.

I think your neighbours across the border love the 2CV almost as much as you do!
The Russian entry seems to be a shortened version of the German one. I don’t do Russian, most unfortunately, but the structure, sources and links seem to be the same or very similar.
Those Renault 4 were the very last ones ever built, right? I understand the last R4 sold in Europe were made in Yugoslavia.

According to the internet the factory in Colombia and Yugoslavia both stopped making them in 1992, but some other sources state that they continued to built then until 1994 in Yugoslavia(which was already Slovenia by that time), so if that really was the case, they would indeed be the last of the R4.
