Hi guys, New to me 2003 996 Carrera with 20K original miles. I got the car up off the ground today and was looking around underneath. I have a few questions outlined below: Front underbody: It appears someone hit something w/ the front underside of the car. The exterior bumper was not damaged. It looks like they drove it hard against a curb sliding along the bottom. Several bolts are broken out and a few pieces are missing. I have the following questions with photos. 1.) The car has a factory aero package (I have the original window sticker). It appears there was something screwed to the front edge of the bumper at one time. Was this an aftermarket splitter or did the aero package have a factory lip that was screwed onto the edge of the bumper?? (See photo #1 below) 2.) It looks like I am missing some parts from the front undertray. Is it normal for the side corners on front of the wheels to be open like this, or is there a cover that goes here? I tried looking in the factory parts manual but the diagrams are really confusing! (See photos #2 and #3 below) Rear Underbody: 3.) Is the area behind the rear wheels supposed to have a wheelarch liner, or should it be open to the mufflers? Seems like all the rocks spraying on the mufflers isn't what you would want? (See photos #4 and #5 below) Thanks!!

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The only piece you are missing is driver's side, right in front of the tire https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...g/99650450303/ The triangular opening is to vent the hot air from the radiator. The rear wheel well looks normal. Yes, you would think there's a shield protecting the mufflers but there's none.
1. The holes are to add a plastic lip, see here: http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...c2-bumper.html Someone else will confirm if it came with the car or not but you can add it if you'd like. 2. All the plastic parts in some way divert for airflow - radiators + brakes etc. as Ahsai mentions 3. No covers go there, mufflers are open to the wheels so they can throw up rubber and after driving give off a distinct 911 smell...

I think that is the exact lip that was on my car, I can see the mark where the double sided tape was. Thanks for the help.
