Underbody pan - Page 2

Presumably however the undertray aids aerodynamics, reduces lift, reduces buffeting, reduces abrasion of the chassis (and so reduces corrosion) by road dirt and provides a handy pool of oiliness also to restrict corrosion.

There are aerodynamics on the brick - WOW.... only kidding

I like visible leaks! well I don't. I can ascertain a leak without finding the evidence all over my block paving drive.
As regards the air flow think your talking perfection here. The pan only has to be present under the engine not cocooning it.

When you go to replace the (presumably missing) splash guard you will likely find little pieces of plastic bolted on where the guard used to be.

No .... i do have it but it was hanging low one side at it had split on one side. May try some contact adhesive, but probably wont like the greasy plastic.
