Does anyone here still have an undertray fitted to the engine bay of their Multipla?

None on mine. Was there one?
just had a quick look under mine and there's no shield under the sump or nearside but there is kind of one under the offside

Nor mine

This is a big lump I'm talking about - it covers the entire underside of the engine bay. There wasn't one on mine when I bought it (it was nearly five years old & 100k+ miles by then, so had ample opportunity to be 'mislaid') but I'm curious as to what it would fix to.
I've bought a new radiator cross rail and it has two tangs on it that serve no apparent purpose. They're on the old cross rail as well and nothing is fixed to them. I wondered if they're there for the undertray.
You can by an aftermarket replacement tray on ebay:

The forward holes in that picture look as though they could line up with the rad cross rail.

My current Multi has one fitted, my original one didn't.
Pain in the a**e when you want a quick look/fiddle underneath
The front edge fits via two bolts and rubber fittings bolted to it, they slip over the two-fingered prong things at the front.
Rear bolts up to the subframe (I think), couple of bolts screws in the sides at the front as well.
Can take a couple of pics if needed.

Hi BD. Pics would be good. I reckon you've got a bit of a collectors item there.....
Nearly lost it a few days back.
Went to pick my Son up from work, he'd started walking back.
I pulled off the road onto the grass verge, which was just high enough to catch the tray and pop the front off the mountings.
When I pulled back onto the road and got to about 30, the airflow forced the front down onto the road, made a nice grating sound!
Pulled up again to see what it was (I had guessed what it was anyway).
One of the bolts with the rubber bung was gone, so I hooked the other one back in place, and tied an old bootlace round the other side . . . it's still like that!
