Hello,
Engine tray is the big plastic plate under the front of the car/engine bay ? (sorry for my bad English)
The 2012 1.4 77CV punto doesn't have one.
The Evo Sport 135CV of my brother have it.
Old Grande Punto Sport 120CV doesn't have it.
So what is the rule ?

loads of mk2 didn't come with trays
i think only the Mk2 HGT's came with an undertray
Handy if you can get one cheap as it'd not be hard to retro fit it with cable ties i think
EDIT - How the hell did i end up here? Ignore me

Ure not wrong lol, i rememeber having a look under a mk2b, its very easiy to put it on one of those, its the same with the 2012, they already give you the bracket/ holes to fix up with !
Yup, not sure why they chose what to fit them to, surely it'd make more sense to fit them to ever model or no model?
I know my sporting comes with one and my dads bravo sport come with one.

My Mk2 HGT had it too...
But I prefere without, it is more easy to see under the engine bay and if you have to do something you have not to spend time to remove this tray cover first...
I think "high end" versions have this, under the Punto evo there is not only the tray but all under the car there is some plastics (reducing at 2 points per side to jack the car); perhaps it ts to reduce the "air friction" and lower emissions / fuel consumption ?

could for well be
But think about that engine cover - it keeps the heat in to help it warm up in the winter
Prevents the Sump and other underside parts been ground away by road grime - less likely to need a sump change is a win win idea for me tbh....

The amount of dirt that collects in such a small period of time
i had an evo on holiday and the engine bay was unbelieveable dirty
