Does anyone still have their splash shields (under the engine) that wants to share a photo?

I am looking at hubauer.de and am confused about how many pieces I am missing. Basically, under my engine, I don't have any plastic covers.

Finally, would you say they are worth their value to have them?🙄

The 3.0 doesn't have a shield under the engine, only the front one, part 2 in the diagram.

OK thanks a lot for answering my question because I was puzzled! Then probably the previous owner lost it somewhere because mine doesn't even have that. Do you think its worth the money to replace it?
 
I guess it was designed/fitted for a reason?
 
I’ll bet there are more running without the splash guard than with it. If you can locate one cheaply get one, other wise don’t bother.

No 2 is called an air scoop, it supposedly directs air flow into the radiator. Depending on the condition of yours, you may need parts 4 & 5 as well as the scoop attaches to these and the bumper.

These plastics get brittle over time so finding a secondhand set in good condition may be an issue.

Mine decided to part company with the car years ago and I haven't replaced it. It hasn't had any noticeable effect on cooling.
 
Thanks for a

Indeed its called an airscoop, I haven't found any second-hand locally (except from eBay) but I can find new OEM air scoop for 120euros and that is why I am contemplating 🤔 But from what you say I understand I have to take a closer look next time I lift the car and see what other plastics I am missing...🙄
 
Assume you have either part 1 or part 2 but not both. Mine has part 2
 
An update to the situation: for sure I have to order some screws also because two of them are missing 😅 But the previous owner has broken the air duct... Now the question that arises is that perhaps I also need numbers 4 & 5 from the diagram 🙄
