Purpose and function in the engine compartment

• better protection of the paintwork from the engine compartment side,
• maintaining the factory appearance and completeness of the engine hood.

The item comes from dismantling, which allows for maintaining the original manufacturer's specification while optimizing the costs of vehicle repair or renovation.
