plastic underside covers

[M4rc]

I've just noticed the underside of my Van hasn't got any heat sheildl or covers on. is this normal?
I've had a seat/bed fitted. is it possible it's been taken off to fit the bed??

Have you got a short exhaust?

On my van I have a plastic cover above the spair wheel..... Looks like you haven't got one?

What's spec van?

VW cost cutting by the looks of it!, think I'll look at buying some covers

I was contemplating bolting up a secret storage container in the space? But so far have only got as far as thinking it would be a good idea lol

This Jerba video is quite good at showing the underside of a T6.1 with and without covers (before cost cutting)
