Under Engine Tray

[milpol1]

Had a little incident whereby an HGV vehicle lost its mirror which unfortunatley went under my C5 and smashed the under engine tray, does anybody have any idea where I can get a second hand one besides the local scrppy, who by the way doesnt ahve any scrapped C5 lol, I think main dealers will be a tad expensive. Thanks

I recently had the offside front wheel arch liner and the radiator guard replaced at an Indie garage and the parts total was £65 plus vat. So not worth going second hand really.

Worth doing what's already been suggested, but if the price is too high, send a PM to Coastline Taxis.

If it's not too smashed up you could try repairing it like I repaired mine. I took it off,(that makes it sound easy doesn't it), then drilled a series of holes either side of the crack(s), and used a load of black strong zip ties (that I got in a big pack for a couple of quid) to hold it across the crack. It has worked really well, but it does look a bit like a Frankenstein-style scar. Nobody sees it!

My other top-tip is to use a disc-cutter on your drill to drill the plastic undertray around the inevitable 'seized' bolt you will encounter (actually it is the fixing that fails), then judicious use of a strong zip tie or two to reaffix near that point seems to work really well. There are loads of points to attach it to all round. Even if you could get the odd seized bolt out there is no easy way to replace the failed spinning fixing to the car, as access is usually awful. I have done thousands of miles now with our undertray fixed this way in places, and the zip ties get replaced annually when I service it. Now I've typed that lot you'll say it's in 40 bits and went in the bin!! Might help others though.
