Under car engine Shield

Hello
could anyone please help me
I have just purchase a black GPX FTO in Adelaide
I had it up on the lift this week end to check the underneath of the car and noticed the whole of the plastic shield that goes underneath the engine is missing
Does any one know where i can source a replacement one and how much i might be looking at
I have spoken to the dealership to see if they will put one in under the warranty but they said they could not find one - so i don't know where i stand under the 3 month warranty cover
Thanks for your help

Gotta love dealerships... so helpful!
Are any of the bits you need in the pic below (I've selected the main ones in red that I think your talking about) If so, just let me know the number of the bit & I can give you the part number. Mitsubishi will be able to source them, but they will probably be pretty pricey. You could try panelhouse as well. They are members of this forum - just send them a PM.

Wow, thanks for the help Bennoz
all the parts you have highlighted in red appear to be missing
66051R
62817R
62817L
66015L
in your wisdom how much might i be looking at - if its a lot i will see if the dealership will go halves or something seeing that they acknowledged they new they were missing at the point of sale and did not draw my attention to it
I am new to posting on Forum's - how do you PM, ie pm'ing panelhouse
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Id be trying the wreckers before trying to order genuine. Try these:

Panelhouse is one of those listed (would be the one Id try first).

Did I misunderstand this right?
As far as I remember, I dont think there is any plastic that goes all the way under the engine. (I might be wrong here as I havent had the car for a while, cant recall exactly.)
From the photos;
62817R
62817L
seems to me the plastic parts between front bumpers and radiator. There plastics hookes into the front of the radiator. Is this correct?
And I think
66015L
66015R
stands just after the inner tyre guard.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the FTO doesn't have plastic that goes right under. I know my Verada had one but my FTO never did.

Quite right gents, there's no peice that completely covers the underside of the engine. Those 4 mentioned above sort or surround it. The important bit is the side plastic on the drivers side, it keeps crap from under the wheel arch heading onto the belts & pulleys..... and it really doesnt like staying on with being attached to all the other bits

If you get a full engine cover, how can you tell if you're leaking oil?
