Bottom front shroud

RustyKaos · 01-10-2009, 10:50 AM

Hey the shroud from the bottom of the front bumper going under the engine is all torn on my hardtop and was wondering if it needs to be there or can I just discard it.

Cheers Jarrod

No one have any info on this. Ended up cutting the part hanging down as I had to leave some for the wheel arch.

i don't have of them left except the one under the airbox. only downside i've found is hitting largish puddles can cause water to get on the belts and they'll squeal for 30 sec

They're there to aid cooling and airflow, as well as to keep the engine bay clean and stop things flying up into the belts

Would it be worth it to get a second hand replacement from the wreckers?
