Remove the undertray

The front undertray needs to be removed for a variety of reasons such as to replace the anti-roll bar,

This undertray is very important as it brings rigidity to the whole front of the car.

Procedure

  Remove the three screws (8mm socket) securing the undertray to the front clamshell

• 

  This shows the rear lip securing the undertray.

• 

  Remove the nine screws (8mm socket) securing the undertray to the chassis

• 

  Now slide the undertray forward, so the rear edge drops out of the lip, and then backwards to remove from the car

• The rear three screws are secured with Loctite.
