Title: Underbody cover
Post by: ABZJock on November 18, 2022, 06:15:28 pm
Unfortunately I went through a massive puddle last night and it's torn the nearside underbody cover.  Struggling to find any information about a replacement. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where is best to get one and an idea of cost.
Many thanks

Can the old one be repaired?; doesn't have to look pretty.
One from a dealer will be expensive I'm sure :(
Alternatively try an online breakers yard.

Often see these ripped off when viewing YOUTUBE at a well known
spot in Notts,

Thanks for the reply.  I will probably try to fix it and if that fails try a local breakers that's near where I live. I was pretty surprised how the covers are joined together, it looks like they are fitted in the wrong direction that allows the water to get between them and force them apart, almost like roof tiles layed in the wrong way.
