Guigsy Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 The plastic tray under my engine started flapping in the wind a month or so ago and had gradualy come loose. And it got to the point it was constantly dragging on the floor. or making a right racket above about 50mph. So tonight it removed it.... is there any reason i should put another back on? or will it be ok without it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Not had mine on for the last 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I left mine off for over a year. Never noticed any difference apart from the engine noise was a little louder on the move. People claim the undertray helps the cooling because it aids the air flow or somesuch but I didn't notice any difference, even at very high speeds.

Ric Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 i want to put mine on, although i try not to use the car in the wet. when i do, or get caught out, the engine cover helps keep the underside of the engine clean whereas i dont have one atm.. If you can understand that ure probably more drunk than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 well mines a daily driver. and im not bothered about a blinging engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Mine was a daily driver withoput the cover for over a year. I noticed a slight lift in the front wheels at very high speed. (imagination maybe ?) Other than that it was fine apart for a lot of salt ingress from the roads but you aren't in to a blingy bay so not really a major issue.

Ian C Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I'd keep it on as it keeps the shite from the road out of your engine bay. It's also supposed to help duct the cooling system but as Jake is all single turbo'd up and hasn't had any issues perhaps not so much in our climate -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hi, Mines been off for nearly three years, no problems. Engine doesn't get dirty - underneath looks fine when the cars on a ramp Ro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
