Hi.. Plastic trim and clips won’t stand up to extreme weather ...the big issue is we drive vans that give us a sense of protection due to size and learn very quickly standing water can cause major problems...I've only seen skid plates for the front not rear and as already mentioned we have to adjust our driving ...no fun..but saves on the pocket 
Your 2nd photo.. is a clip missing from the heatshield and the corner hanging down?
dunno mate
mines coming off at the weekend as its rattling n sendimg me over the edge
same as A pillar n/s speaker and cover
if that dont stop rattlin, thats getting ragged off n chucked out the window as well
theres that many rattles, if i keep ripping things off it will end up like this
Mines the same, just pushed it up and out of the way and carried on.
That foil part is part of the Exhaust heat shield and needs to go back on ...yours might be salvageable...it helps stop any burning/ scorching from the exhaust when hot ...the dealers may fit a new part unless you can remould it and clip it back in place
Mine bent/twisted/hung off after driving through a ford.
Removed it and bought a new one.
No issues since but avoid deep fords.

Sorry if I’m being a bit stupid. Does anyone have photos of what I need to undo to remove the undertray to fit side bars. I’m new to all this.
I did mine yesterday, took me about 30 mins a side. There are some good videos on you tube, but you need an 8mm socket and small extension to remove 5 small bolts . I did not completely remove the under tray, just undid the outside edge and found it enough space to fit the brackets. You will also need to drill some small holes in the undertray to get it fitting properly after installing brackets.
Happened to me recently after I hit a flood in the dark which mashed the tray on the offside. Mangled the diesel heater ducts as well. Around £250 to have the tray replaced.
