After a couple of days of slogging up and down the UK motorway network, I seem to have lost the blanking part of the lower intake grill. I dont recall hitting anything and all the clips are intact, so a bit of a mystery.

I have taken a picture, sorry for the clarity, taking quickly on a mobile. If anyone has any advice on where to get one or what it is I need to order. In particular if any UK members can recommend any breakers/slavage yards that are any good I would be grateful.

Thanks for your help.

Hmm maybe not, had your car washed recently ??

Both my brake ducts for no reason aparant decided to come loose on both sides, thankfully I noticed in time and both parts where floating around inside and I was able to refit, maybe one explanation to consider, theft is also a very viable explanation tho

Real OEM Linky

Part number is: 51117897184

Might be worth just popping along to your stealer and order one. You might be waiting ages to track one down at a breakers mate.

Hope this helps a little.

Guys,

thanks for the help, would be surprised if it helps as it happened in the last 48 hours and has either been parked on my drive right outside my house or in the office or client's car parks which are all secure.

Must have worked loose, as you can see it hasnt been cleaned for a while, due to me loosing an argument with a petrol lawnmower and putting my right hand out of action for a couple fo weeks - no jokes please have heard all of them and more

Cheers

Duncan
