Hello
Hope you are all well. I have a question with regards the plastic cover that seems to be infront of the drivers rear wheel and at the beginning of the trailing arm.
Just noticed this hanging down slightly whilst I was painting up my sills.
Is it structural or superficial. Seems to be screwed on. Is it easy to re adjust if that is whats required.
Thank you

A picture would paint a thousand words. Can you add one please? This would help identify the part

Thanks for the pictures.
I don't recognise any of that on the C3 rear suspension area.
Is it possible to add some more pictures, taken a bit further away this time? So we can see it in context of some recognisable part.

Looks like the supporting arm for some kind of under tray maybe, my uneducated guess.

Hi
Thank you for the reply. When weather a bit better I will take a closer look and try to re adjust it.
