The new part blocks off the duct shown in the lower left of the before and after photos, the last photo is the other side which still has the duct.

Daytona 3, Mine is in as we speak and should be ready and finished this week. They are changing the diff and looking at the stereo volume problem on start up and carrying out the recall for the wheelarch liner modification. Will hopefully have an answer for all on Saturday.
