My car decided to wreck the nearside on last night on the M3

Kept driving, and by the time I got off there wasn't that much left of it. So went and pulled it out. I'm wondering what will happen if I run without them.

Can water force it's way through the air filter and wreck the engine? Only other thing I can see it affecting is the alarm sounder.

So your inner arch liners are taken out, it filled your doors with crap?

Thats impossible.

Shouldnt be too bad if your just waiting to get another Phil, but wouldnt recomend leaving it out, could throw allsorts up into the bay, gravel, water, paper etc.

Fro's and now Gregg's car has/had no front inner wheel arches - the engine bay was/is filthy. Don't think it did any damage tbh.

Just keeps the bay a bit cleaner, not difficult to fit or rare in a breakers.

But yeah don't expect the bay to be clean. I've bought new ones because it gets that bad
