Default engine splash guards

Does anyone have either of the splash guards which fit underneath the engine for sale or know a place i can get hold of them. One guard fits just behind the front bumper is about 6 inches deep and spans the front of the car. The other is the main splash guard which i think is the same one as fitted to a 4x4 saph. thanks for any help have a good weekend!!!!

Don't have those too - wonder if there are any affordable sump guards.

I'm sure that's about it as the undertray is quite large.There are 4 bolts into the chassis legs (2 each side) there are also 4 or 5 10mm head bolts into that other plastic piece you mentioned.

That'll probably be the reason.

These are standard but a lot of folk take them off cos its a pain in the arse to take them on and off all the time.I had the whole kit that went from the front splitter to the back of the engine and gave you a bit of protection.

The front strip that starts at the splitter is held on by 4X screws/clips, 2 per side.

For 230 it would be much better to get proper sump guard made....
