I want to get a sound baffle or engine pan. Belly pan sometimes referred to. P/N 191 805 681 dealer says no longer available. Does anyone have a source? Can I use one from a Mk 3?
See a picture here at pg 2:

I'd put a sound deadener on that and then install it.
I have one but I've never ran the car, I'll probably run it without the pan first while I take care of all the little problems that are sure to arise and then I'll glue sound deadener foam on the pan and install it. I can report back but no guarantee on when that'll happen.
those plastic skid plates are more rare than hens teeth and muffler bearings..
I have one of those plastic engine covers, that covers the whole entire engine/transmission. Took it off my car when I first got it to do work on it and never put it back on. Its in my garage.
I would love to have one just to pull the dimentions off of it and have some made.
I called the dealer today and I can get one for a mk 3 but it is steep. Thanks for the lead on the AL plate but I am looking more for encapsulation than protection. Would the mk 3 fit close?
Coke are you offering to sell? I'll pm you.

Does anybody have a source other than the dealer for new pans, plastic or steel? Local dealer wants $273 for one for the mk3. The one from euro-ebay won't ship international. Maybe I can fab one up out of light guage Aluminum. Local junk yards just laugh when I called.
