Default 996 c4 undercarriage damage

I have a 2003 c4 996.

I think the previous owner came in contact with a speed bump or parking bumper.

I don't have another 996 to compare it to and as a result I'm wondering if someone can tell me which part I have lost from the front of my undercarriage. It appears that there is a plastic cover on the passenger side but it is missing on the driver side.

It is a US model 2003 c4.

The first pic and the third show the damaged area. The second is what the undercarriage looks like on the passenger side.

Thanks in advance for giving this some thought.

Default Mine is midnight blue too

First of all...wow. That is a very clean under carriage. I hope mine looks that great after some winter work on it.

Second, the part I am looking for is in front of the left wheel in this picture and it is partially visible in your picture.

It is to the left of the tank and I can see that it appears to be a matching plastic part to the one in my picture that I do have on the passenger side. Does anyone know what that part is called or the part number.

Third, thank you for your prompt reply. I appreciate it.

Looks like he went forward over a curb block at a parking lot and wasn't thinking it was there. Anyway not an easy thing to fix and it will drive normal. U can have a bodyshop try to punch it out if that works. Mike

^^^+996
Not only you are missing a plastic cover but there is also damage to the frunk tub. A good body shop should be able to hammer that out. You can pull the frunk carpet off and should be able to see the bulge in that corner. Again like 996FLT6 said it wont hurt the way it drives unless it got thrown off alignment on the steering or damaged any of the suspension parts
