Inner wing plastic sheets.
I’ve seen a 240 with , what looks like aftermarket , plastic sheets running at each side under the bonnet below the wing edges. I presume they are to deflect water away from the inner wings.
Anyone know more.🤔

My '88 240 has front wheel arch plastic liners:~
Original fittings, but not sure if all models had these from new. The car is also fitted with rear liners (not original items) I believe no 240 models had them as standard for some reason: Bob. |

The ones I’m asking about are flat plastic sheets, fastened under the bonnet, secured to a strut- top thread. They are under the wing gutters.

Not seen those:~
Are they intended to stop water running of the bonnet into the engine bay? Always thought that design lacking on the 240- revised my car by adding rubber seals to the underside of the bonnet & inner wing tops: keeps the water out of the engine bay. Bob. |

I can't picture what you mean - a photograph would help.
I've never found any particular problems with water getting in under the bonnet. Obviously there's a gaping hole at the front because the radiator needs a good flow of air, but you can't block that. There's a plastic undertray that runs from the front crossmember to the one behind the engine, but that's often missing because it gets damaged or the bolts seize up and snap off so it's not held on properly. It doesn't seem to do much anyway. |
