That is a nice thing about well designed belly pan/rear diffuser. It doesn't really change the appearance of the car.

FWIW, I replaced the plastic lower engine cover with an aluminum skidplate and added coroplast extensions in front of the front tires. Perhaps a used Mk IV engine cover could be modified for a Mk III?
