My car doesn't have those.... Must have been removed at some point so I may have to make some, probably aluminium this time!

Well that answers the question as to what at least one of the two bits of odd shaped rusty sheet I got back with my car were..

Is there another one that goes somewhere?
Current:
S2FL Coupe 1600 (restoration project)

Former Lancias
HPE VX A52 VGK (parts donor)
C363 RPC (probably still sorned in cumbria with it's new owner)

There is a different one (smaller?) that fits on the left hand side.

The Coupe ate up circa 500 miles on the ever brilliant Great Northern Weekend.... (outside the Jim Clark Museum in Duns)

Finished the season with another run to The Motorist where I met Kevin Plowman in his immaculately restored Dedra Turbo.

I set off with 67145 on the odometer, pretty much exactly 20000 miles more than when I bought the car just over 10 years ago, so this post is also marking 10 years of this thread! What a decade, I'm not sure that there is much in my life that hasn't changed in that time, but FNC has seen me through it......

The Coupe clicked over 69000 on the way back from Sedgebrook Hall on Sunday. It's definitely doing less mileage these days, even with 7 months off the road in 24, but going to quite a few events this year.

My first long run after the engine rebuild to the LMC Great Northern Weekend in Gatehouse of Fleet past Dumfries. The car is running superbly. 430 miles and the odometer clicked over 70000 on the way home.
