Hi

Noticed on my sons 53 plate Vrs there is plastic panels going from front to rear of car , on my 06 vrs there is no panels..

So basicly wondering what advantage/disadvantage there is with the plastic panels..? ie better sound proofing or harder to get at a nut and bolt etc.

Any info appreciated..

More info

I dont haver them on mine either

i do on my 04 vRS

i think they stopped fitting the under tray at the faclift

mine dosent have and its a 54 plare but ive seen an 04 plate with it

Do the mean the bit at the front?

no its under the passanger compartment

I too have this fitted to my 03 model and also wondered why it was fitted:)

Originally i thought it was for directing air to the fuel cooler but realised its on both sides:cool:

Can we state more clearly what panels were talking about as i am lost??

im not talking about the plastic tray under the engine

but on older / prefacelift catrs there is a plastic tray thing under the drivers and passengers seats

sorry i cant describe it any better as i dont have one :P

Hi

The plastic panels/sheets run from the front of the footwells both sides to the rear of the footwells , basiclly plastic covering the whole of the underside of the floor..

Not really sure if its one piece or two now will check in a little while..

They cover fuel/brakepipes and up to the fuel cooler, just an extra layer of protection, soundproofing and Skoda removed it on facelift along with the battery cover etc as a wee corner cutting exercise.

Hey guys, here are some pics of the plastic pieces that my dad is on about (Sattaff) .

they look quite cool i want them lol

They do look cool to be honest , might get the tool box out this week when the son is in work ...

I would as these covers protect a bit and trap mud+dirt+water - so they should IMHO get removed every three years or so so that you can clean out what has been able to get trapped in there - these sort of now rusting retaining "nuts" are a bit of a pain to get off - I'd buy quite a few first as some will end up not being re-usable.
