MG4 Part Identification

[L70]

Hello,
Does anyone know the name of this part of the MG4 please ?
I think some rock tape on it.
Have some people already changed it ?
I also noticed that the plastic plates under the car are deforms and are very fragile.
Thanks for your help.

It looks like the main battery cover/shield under the car.

 

[L70]

Okay thank you.
Do you know if we can change it ?

Or it’s not important if just a rock tape on it
I'm worried because I don't know if it could affect the battery.
But it’s look like solid.
For the other protection in plastic under the car does anyone change it for something more solid ?
I see other people have noticed deformations.

There is a fix from MG for the plastic undertray > Mg4 undertray cover

 

[L70]

Thank you very much.
But I see nobody talk about the cover/shield which is not in plastic.

I don't think anybody has ever had to replace the metal battery cover in your initial picture.

 

[L70]

Ok thank you.

Take a look here:

Index of /MG4/Manuals

One of the documents might mention that part.

Thank you, someone say that it’s the part which facilitates aerodynamics and protects components
Do you think I need to change it or it’s superficial ?

To be honest @L70, from the pictures you've shown us, I don't see any problem with it. If you're referring to the slight indentations in the picture above, I wonder if somebody has tried to jack the car up, and realized their mistake, because the damage isn't really worth bothering about.

I think a rock tape on it.
Yes I talk about this picture.
So if you were me, you wouldn't change it? That reassures me.

Not sure what you mean by "a rock tape on it" (maybe a bad translation?), but I definitely wouldn't change it.

Drop the "e" ... tap?

 

[L70]

A stone which hurt it ? sorry for my english

 

[MG Clive]

Ahh I see, you think it might have been hit by a rock, the marks look too neat to be a rock, it's more like a jack or axle stand, but either way, the damage looks too small to worry about.
