Fitting an Undertray the right way round
 

Is there a right and wrong side of the undertray? Maybe if I had a genuine part I could tell, but my Polish plastic "copy" looks completely symmetrical either side except for a small sloping indent with 3 holes in it around the mid point of its length on one side - or a sloping raised piece - depending which side you look at it. Sorry Guys for a such a silly question! My "new" CDTi came without one. ED:duh:

It should be slightly concave front to rear edges, with the concave side'looking up at the engine'.

Surely it should have soundproofing and a heat shield on the top side?

You should be able to see from this photo of a genuine one I had showing the underside of the undertray.

That'a great help. Most kind of you! ED

Yes, if it were a genuine one, but these Polish "Pattern" copies are just the moulding. Thanks. ED

I've just dropped the undertray down for the first time in my ownership, to investigate (I hope) a suspension or steering noise. Mine is obviously lacking fixings - 6No., but I broke one during removal.:o

Looking at this photo, there appear to be holes for at least 8No., and possibly 10No. fixings. How many were there when new?

Here, marked in yellow circle - 10. (Ten).

These are the correct Fixings - although others do fit alternate screws etc. Personally I prefer these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-Pair-Eng...S4C5zTSBEr1SUw

Left side on the car, but right side in the photo?
