Apologies i should have specified, yes the engine cover has been removed, as well as the triangle looking bit of black plastic (could be sound deadening or heat shielding) that my keys are on in both photos. If you take it off using the 6 torx screws, it's the correct piece I'm referring too.

Hope that helps ��
Ah, I see it now. Yea I still would not remove that tbh -- looks like it did catch quite a bit of water and dirt in your last 2 pics. I mean this wouldn't matter unless you clean your engine bay adequately every time, but I cannot comment on whether or not this will affect longevity, rust, etc.

Maybe lowering the car for your next mod ?
Lowering is definitely on the cards although I think I'm about to pull the trigger on Focal IS100L speakers for the front!!!
