What is this part called?
Hi All,
This part fell off from the front of the car today. As the pic depicts, it is the plastic part (cover) right under the fog lights. My questions are:
1) What is this part called? (Is it belly pan?)
2) Should I try mounting it back with zip lockers etc? or should I get a replacement?
3) If I need a replacement, where is the best place to get it?
Thanks in advance.

its called the lower valance. held in by clips and then 2 screws by the the fenders. mine has fallen off a couple times and i have it held in with black zipties (not noticeable unless you look for it) and new self-tapping screws by the fender liner. Likei said it can be remounted with fairly good results. Mine has fallen off twice after i remounted it but that was because it was too low for a curb/ramp into a gas station. a repleacement can be bought from ecstuning.com for like $60 i think.

keeps debris away from your motor and slows squirrels from attacking your oil pan as you hit them..... most people just take it off

BadLuckAudi - Thanks for the reply... I figured it had something to do with proper cooling, or aerodynamics/handling (keeping a low pressure zone under the car) but keeping crap from kicking up under the car is just as important... Thanks bro...
