Missing Underbody Tray/Trim?

Postby tom_kauf » Wed Sep 24, 2014 12:11 pm

Might be a silly question, but on my car it looks like there should be another piece of underbody trim that I'm missing. See pictures below. I have the nose trim piece that goes up to about the wheels. But what got me thinking was what looks like 2 moulded clips at the rear of that trim (one side circled). They are just loose - not held on by anything on my car.

Should that join onto another underbody piece (it's a '08 MY09 GT SpecB)?
Or am I missing something else?
In the the parts catalogue it almost looks like there should be Clips which I don't have (#2 - Clip-under cover, front).

.
After a lot of searching, I think I found my answer. Only the Turbo cars have these (that's why I posted it in the 2.5T section). I think these are what I'm missing - not a whole other underbody tray.

Can someone confirm this is what Aus delivered cars have?....anyone

For a car that's always been serviced at subaru, mine sure has a lot of clips and trim pieces missing :?

Yep absolutely correct.

Just had to buy some myself.

You need two C clamps, 3 bolts and two side clips for the underbody tray.

I'll post up some pics :)

But it's totally not a big deal as long as the bolts and the side clips are there

Thanks Alexei :D . I have the bolts, and was missing one side clip. But I bought some spare ones a while ago, so I put that straight in.

Only need to order the C clamps. Good to know they're not expensive.

My engine builder threw most of the clips out including 13 from the underhood cover. Then my tuner threw out some too.

Just spent $62 on clips! *facepalm*

Oh WOW! :angry2:
I was missing about 5 or 6 of the little ones with the phillips head (incl almost all for the upper engine cover around the intercooler). And a few of the larger clips (like the side clips on this underbody trim). And a little trim piece under the windscreen - next to the bonnet hinge. But not as many as you!
