Damaged front undertray.

The undertray (apparently) gives two benefits:
1. improved airflow through the radiator and under the car
2. makes the front bumper stiffer
Without the undertray in place, the front bumper is only secured around the top edge. The undertray fastened to the bottom edge makes it more of an open box with greater structural integrity.
That being said, there's lots of XK8/XKR's running around with broken or missing undertrays .....

Best of luck, keep us posted.
PS: From memory, this undertray also holds the bottom of the inner wheel well liner. If missing, the air flow may push that liner into the tire and wear it out.

I've been looking for a decent used under-tray and the lower snorkel for the alternator. So far I've discovered there are no used ones in good condition.
