I bought a cheapo new one off t'internet - only had to re-drill 2 holes. They are supposed to improve the aerodynamics of the least aerodynamic part of the underside, so reducing noise and fuel consumption, as well as protecting from road carp. Get good fixings, and thoroughly grease them. Use a wizzy drill/socket-driver to speed fixing and removal.

Hi Andrew
Was it you that I read about then purchasing one from Poland and it needed adjustment to make it fit.

Is this undertray any good?
I remember one member bought an undertray from Poland? and it was rubbish.

I was looking on ebay for said tray and found one, when i looked where it was coming from it was from a company in Poland, I personally wouldn't order it from there for £1.00. Couldn't trust my bank details to an overseas company.

Two types of undertray, a full one fitted to earlier cars, & a 1/2 one, fitted to later models & different engines iirc

In addition these are with a weak material, no heat protected area, not matched holes.
It is better to find genuine one second hand in good condition or - the expensive ones - custom made from rifled aluminum /~ £100-120 over here/. Maybe I do the aluminum one - get sick of these undertrays

Yes, that was me, just the 2 holes needed adjustment, where it joined to the front valance.

I was looking at this undertray earlier this evening. Although it says London seller,it looks very similar to the Poland undertray.

Also be careful of purchasing after market under trays as I have read that they are not the best of quality, and also I think one member bought one and not of the fixing holes lined up to the car.

Maybe try one of the traders on here for a good used one, give it a good clean then re-fit.

I use these to fit my under tray on and a few members from the nano meet, these are the ultimate fixings

Would you have a link to those Ultimate Fixings? They look the part all right. The nano meet is a tad too far away for me to get there
