Finally got round to installing the tray tonight:



I was worried about engine temps as the tray covers the entire engine bay, except a little bit towards the rear. But on the run home it was as normal, but then weather is only a couple of degrees above freezing!

Thanks jimepting I used your idea of the foam to fill in the gap, I also put duck tape over the gap to smooth it whilst the foam set. Can't seem to get the stuff off my fingers though!

I did have one scare, I was doing 30mph along a dual carriageway and I heard a bang, I looked in the rear view and saw a piece of plastic looking much like an arch liner bouncing along the road! Lucky there was a roundabout just ahead so I spun round and parked. I checked both front arches where the tray was attached and they were both fine.

Confused I checked the back and notice the passenger side liner was missing. I ran along the road and grabbed the arch liner which turned out to my my rear liner. When I was fitting the tray tonight I also remove both rear mudflaps/air brakes, I didn't realise that the bolt at the bottom that holds on the mud flap onto the base of the bumper also holds on the rear liner, so I didn't refit the bolts. Doh!
