new sportivo with a dodgy cut underneath

[snyper]

hey all

i am just a noob with the names of the car parts as you can see by my topic title...

anyway i just got my new car last week n discovered that there is a bit of a dodgy cut underneath the engine, dunno wot this thing is called. But there are also some holes there. Just wondering if its the same for everyone else...

Number 1 and 3 in my pic are the holes and number 2 is the dodgy cut that is not even straight

thanks

edit: oops, thought the file attachment would go below my post, obviously it didn't..

Welcome.....mm..interesting.....

so i am guessing this ain't normal????

The holes are normal with nothing in them.

Edit: Just checked. Seems odd, can't see why a cut would need to be made.

As a money saving initiative manufacturers produce common parts for different models. As this sump guard may be used on different toyota models, they drill all the holes that are possibally needed when the part is made and then simply use the holes they need on a particular model.

Completely normal.

ok, so the holes are normal

so the CUT is definitely not normal???

[CAP]

It's normal, This piece of plastic serves no function except to keep stones and other things from hitting the engine from below, so it's not cut or made to look pretty. It's out of sight so it's rough as guts and cheap as chips.
