Panamera V6 under trays image "Parts" ???

I just got home and had the exhaust modified, and I noticed that the under trays are missing around the heat shields and looks like all the way to the headers. Does anyone have an image of what the under trays are under the car. I have a ferrari 360 and the entire bottom of the car is covered with under trays. Any help would be appreciated.

also when looking through the 22" wheels I can see everything (wires, hoses, etc etc. Is there a wheel well also ???

why I do what I do - sill amazes me ??? I keep asking WHY do I do this to myself ??? I swear the next car will be sign and drive - PERIOD

the performance shop says it was not there when he got the car, hard to believe that.

Robert

As we used to say in the operating room " The enemy of 'good' is 'better"

I feel your pain.

Here is a pic I found online - let me know what wheel well pics you need and I'll take them in the morning and post them.

That is exactly what my car looks like. Is that photo OEM and how the car comes from the factory ??? Or is it AFTER you took off linings ???

Is there a bottom tray that attaches to the clips on the side??? Also I did not think you could see the heat shields

When you look through the wheels. Do you see all the hoses, brackets canisters etc

Thanks again D

OK - my wife thinks I am nuts. I just walked out into the garage and took a few pics with my phone from the passenger rear corner. There IS a giant black apron that covers everything back there. They definately left something off.


Here are my crappy late night pics -

Yesterday morning I visited my local porsche service dealership and there were nice enough to put the car on a lift and then bring another v6 off the parking lot and lift it next to mine. We looked at what was missing and it is the bottom undertray directly below the mufflers.

They took it off the new car and installed it on mine. It FIT, we were all surprised because of the size of the exhaust tips (pics to come later). I asked if I could buy that one and they responded that they will / can not take off parts from a new car and I would have to order the undertray. No problem with that, I understand. Anyway as I am sitting with my service rep, they get a call from the guy who worked on the exhaust and he was inquiring about the part. I called him and he told me not to worry and he would get the part and I can stop by within the next couple of days to get it installed.

It is the right thing to due, it was there when I dropped it off PERIOD, no ifs or buts about it. There is NO way I could have not seen that missing for a week or so and I am the one that washes my car.

Anyway really not sure what happened to the part. He does have several guys that work for him and a couple of bays with some amazing cars in the shop getting performance work done, only the shadow knows where it is at . . . . . .

Thanks again D for following up and helping me with the photos.

NEXT modification is a Panamera Turbo (move the wheels over and then a couple of mods and we are done. Sound familiar – ha ha ha

I went from a 4S to a PTT - I smile everyday. That was a great move. You'll love the PTT - I loved the 4S before I drove the PTT too.

my guess would be the part was damaged when removed by the shop. that thing is too daggum big to just "get lost."

one day you will take me for a drive or let me drive the car with the new exhaust . one day.

No exhaust added or changed. I THINK he just deleted each muffler at the tips. He added a pipe to connect where the mufflers were and made some fat *** exhaust tips. He would not tell me all that he did. He said he goofed around with this and that. It does sound fantastic. A little loud in the car. But sounds nice.
