The tray under the engine bay you dont really need it on hey
i took it off before winter and never had anny issues exept one day i went through a really big puddle and hit all the extractors but just steemed and stuff
but i can stt no other reason than that to put it on other than to hide oil drips

It's a stone guard to stop shit flicking up in your engine bay etc. etc.
It's better to have it on |

It primarily helps air flow through the radiator affecting the cooling system.
It isn't supposed to contain oil from dripping on the driveway! _________________ I try to tackle one day at a time, but often several days attack me at once.
