Default WTB: 993TT engine tray / under cover

Anyone have one in decent condition lying around? This is the first thing most people take off when they get their 993tt. I've seen them used for snow sledding, sun shades, to scrape snow off pavement etc. Well, sadly, now I'm needing one. Let me know if you have one laying around for a reasonable price.

I'm temporarily hiding an oil leak that I don't have time to fix until winter. Like a mobile drip tray. It's my shady mechanic fix Car gets moved around so putting cardboard on the ground is tough.

C'mon, someone must have these. Or are they all gone since I'm sure 90% of all 993TT's have had them removed and trashed. They really serve no other purpose than to hide oil leaks. Sadly, I'm trying to do just that!

I was going to list mine for next to nothing + shipping, it's in usable condition but not ideal in any way. The fiberglass has separated on both ends. I tried repairing it but one side didn't last and separated.

I had a few comments.

What are those vents that cut outs are for? Is that from a heat exchanger? I have always wondered.

Part number is 993 119 129 51 - if you need a new one they are almost $1K sleds special order from Pelican. "Superseded" by same number but ending in 52.

There wouldn't be a fire hazard if you are driving while collecting oil would there?

I mentioned the under tray to my mechanic in Sunnyvale long ago and he seemed keeping it on was fine (I asked to remove it) although it seems every turbo in his shop had it off. Long argued topic - consensus is to remove it but I guess the counter argument is it is like an air shroud better directing air for cooling? But then people say if you are not moving the tray makes things hotter and can't see leaks - not good.

I wonder if some Porsche shops would have some laying around.
