General Undertray and side bits!!!!!

[Muppet1]

Well i have smashed off the undertray and most of the 2 side plastic bits as well now as have been driving over a lot of rough ground, Would anyboby have a idea how much these will cost from fiat.

Im not too bothered about replacing them but as i do have the cone filter it would be a wise move, or i could get a alloy one made up i guess.

I'd kill for an aluminium undertray. My friend with his Alfa 156 has got one. Jealous again...

I too have a cone filter and the undertray is a must for Norwegian climate.

Ok, silly question, What's a cone filter?

One of them aftermarket, boy/girl racer filters, that acts like a straw through puddles and suckes water into the engine from what I've seen on here

A deep puddle then. At least 35 cm or so... The OEM airbox is actually lower - and it isn't very tight either.

But without the undertray I'd not recommend a cone filter as it might splash a bit there. With the undertray it is dry as Sahara - and believe me, it has been tested.

The oem air-box should survive total immersion (unless it gets smashed to bits on rocks or whatever).

You should be good for at least 45cm and possibly as high as 60cm (air-intake height).

Either way it will be dodgy without an undertray due to easy access of water to the engine

With intake hight of OEM airbox I'd think it's safe to say water will be coming in through the doors before the water gets into the airbox

The centre bit's missing on mine as well. I wasn't bothered about it till I read the rest of this thread. Might be time to take some tin snips to an old washing machine...

The center section is in the region off 110 +vat as it was as haggle point when buying the MW. Our sides were (mostly) intact and just needed some reinfocing of the fixing holes, so can't offer a price for them...

Drivers side cost me about 40 quid from the dealer when I holed mine on the JTD.

JTD on standard airbox also survived a run through a Fjord down a single track road down Wales no problems... even though the guy behind in his Landy took one look at it and started to back up!
