    I've tried searching this to no avail. I've got a short list of items that i'm taking care of after some deductions at the recent NW FCA Concours. My biggest deduction was 1 pt for a non-factory skid plate under the front bumper.

    I have removed that, however, now there is a big open area and the horns and fog light wiring now seem a little exposed. I'm wondering if i'm missing an underbody panel that goes up front. Based on the clips near the front of the underbody it would appear I am.

    Can anyone show me what i'm missing? Also, does anyone know how to source it? If it's not available, could anyone show me how the original mounts so I can attempt to make something out of UHMW or similar?

    This is a 91 bumper. Probably very similar. Looks like part of yours has been cut away. It should slot into those brackets on the floor of the trunk shown in your pic. There is a lip spoiler fitted to the one shown but the under tray is standard and integral with the bumper. This is a Euro car so not sure if anything changed for the US. I doubt it.

    I had seen that for the earlier bumpers. However, looking at my bumper it doesn't seem like anything has been obviously cut away though, which leads me to wonder if it was a different design for the later cars?

    Thanks! How does that panel attach to the bumper? It's looking like I may have to make something myself to fill the gap .

    Yeah I had seen that in my search .It's a different P/N than the earlier cars, but I can't get any info on what the design differences are.
