Unhappy Broken Shields - holds the Foglight Inspection covers

YIKES !!!! . . . imagine my surprise when I got under my car to change the oil today !!! I removed the belly pan in order to get to the oil pan, no problem there . . . however, when I was looking "up" at the front of the front wheel wells, I noticed I had cracked and broken black plastic !!! These pieces are the shields that box in the bottom of the front of the wheel well - keeping the crap off the fog lights ! Also, the foglight inspection covers fit on these shields.

I KNOW my car has NEVER been hit in the front. And I have been the only driver . . . so how the heck did these get broken ????? Maybe I am being **** about keeping the car sooo original and like new, but damn I could not believe it !!! Although I do recall, when I took the car on Willow Springs road course, that I did blow off one of the foglight inspection covers. . . . so, maybe it was rocks or something from the track ????

Anyhow, got the shields on order from the dealership - phew, at least can still get them !!! . . . no, I did not take any pics of the broken parts, once I get the new ones, I will show you guys what I mean . . . in the meantime, maybe check your own cars . . . .

Cheers

Mark
