Underbody shields - AAAC - 29:th-Sep-2014 A few months ago I bought a new Opel Astra GTC Sport 1.6T here in Australia after Opel withdrew from the market and Holden took over the warranty and servicing. Prices were dramatically reduced. One of the things that I noticed is that it does not have a shield beneath the engine bay, for aerodynamics, like my other vehicles. Do European cars have this? :joker: Underbody shields - tucpal - 29:th-Sep-2014 hi and welcome i know the diesel cars over here have them as standard dealer prices will most likely be over the top but you can buy after market ones like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-ASTRA-J-2009-2014-INSIGNIA-2008-2014-ENGINE-COVER-UNDERTRAY-SHIELD-/141169203273?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20de571849 Underbody shields - cornishtaz - 29:th-Sep-2014 Petrol cars don't have them fitted especially on turbo models due to the extra under bonnet heat generated Underbody shields - AAAC - 30:th-Sep-2014 Thank you for the advice Tucpal and Cornishtaz. I will consider my options. |
