Do I need this?!

[iOllieSM]

Trying to fit my rs grill back onto car which is proving difficult with this black box thing on the back. Do I need it? What's it even used for?

Fitted. Drove me absolutely mad that did! Still interested to know what it is anyhow.

Alternator splash guard iirc?

 

[iOllieSM]

I thought as much that's why I was desperately trying to keep it lol. I will never remove the grille again after today.

I masked mine up and sprayed it on the car,
because ​the front grill pissed me off so much when I tried to remove it.

 

[iOllieSM]

Funnily enough I actually considered doing that for all of 10 seconds, but thought it was a bad idea and continued to struggle on removing it lol

I dont have one of these on my car.

Just priced one up to the cost of £64.45

Should i get one and get it fitted or leave it off ?

£64.45? That's expensive for a bit of plastic?
Although now I've seen what it protects, I'm glad I've got it back in!
(Alternator and attached belt is hidden behind it)
