I have a 2008 GT. The car is in very good nick overall. Having climbed all over it during these last few weeks I have come across a 10" x 10" pressed steel plate (patterned) on either side of the car just inboard of the front jacking point. It spans a portion of the brake pipeline channel that runs front to back along the car but doesn't seem to have a purpose?>
Anyway - unlike the rest of the underside, these two steel panels are in a terribly corroded state of disrepair. In fact one has part crumbled and this weekend I removed both plates and threw them in the bin as they were crumbling in my hands!
Does anyone have any idea what these are there for?
[I also note that some of the front and rear suspension rods,supports etc have got what looks like 'wind deflectors' made of hard plastic just in front of several of these suspension struts - anyone?].
