Apart from helping to keep your engine area clean from water splash (?) the main advantage is having something that many have not! And disadvantage: - (see above) - it scrapes on the drain covers in my drive when two bolts are missing.

If anyone sees or hears of an undertray for a ZT260 please let me know - need an unbroken example to use to create a mold for a carbon fibre version

i have an undertray but wont for much longer i fear, it is slowly wearing away, it hits every speed bump i go over and makes a horrible noise , mind you that might have changed since i replaced both rear springs the other week but i doubt it, i now fear it will be worse now that the back is higher

I dont have the part number for it (unless its stamped on it somewhere in which case if someone points me in the right direction I will post it on here). I always thought the undertray was to reduce drag? guess its pretty insignificant on anythinig with a 1.8 though lol. I also liked the look of peering into the engine bay to see a nice shiny aluminium floor. Since not having it fitted (laziness on my part) the engine bay has become very grubby.

Well so far I have checked my engine undertray several times since I have had it removed and then refitted due to the lower engine mount fitted last week. Each time I check I will see another silly screw sitting hanging down (undone) ready to fall and to be lost forever. I have replaced x5 screw bolts already and now hoping I will loose no more.
If they keep undoing themselves I will just simply removed the tray altogether I think..... I suggest all of us should take a quick peek at are undertrays to see if screw bolts are loose or simply missing altogether. Post your findings on here! It would be interesting to see how many of our vehicles have loose or missing screw bolts or even no undertray fitted whats so ever..... I think there should be 12 screw bolts in total.

Not having an undertray increases airflow, and aids cooling, that's a good thing with the 1.8 petrol engines!

Removing the undertray can also have an adverse effect on the engine cooling after all they were fitted by the manufacturer for a reason.
