I am on my 3rd 818S and these 2 pieces were not part of my last 2 early builds. Can some show me in a picture where they mount? Nothing in the build manual about them either. Thanks.
80059 and 80606

Huh. Never seen those. I'm curious too, Wallace!

Does your 80059 panel have what looks like louvers cut into it? I think it is required if you add the diffuser but I am not sure.

First one might go under the engine? Second one went up front from the floor to the radiator floor I believe.

No louvers on either one. I was hoping someone has installed them and has photos.

The smaller one looks like the piece that goes here:

No it is not I have that already mounted. Wrong part # also. Thanks for trying though.
I think Mike Everson is correct. I was hoping someone already mounted them with pics.
I'll figuire it out in time.

80606 is definitely the panel I outlined in red in the picture I posted above. It comes with the splitter option. At least that is where it's listed in my inventory.

I installed my engine belly pan.
It has the front and rear edges bent to allow you to mount it to the bottom tube of the fire wall and the engine mount tube.
I cut a hole for the oil pan clearance. see the attached link.

I couldn't find a picture of it on all my pics. It definitely went up front.

Thanks Bob. I do not have a front splitter so maybe the other one is just a extra part.

I've only built mine so I don't have any other reference, but in a car with no splitter what normally covers the gap between the 'nose' floor and the 'battery area' floor? On my car, that panel covers the area between those two panels so it covers the steering rack and the bottom of the radiator and AWIC heat exchanger. I thought I heard that on some early cars they did not provide a cover for that area. Perhaps they now include that piece, which was originally part of the splitter package, for all cars to cover that area.

Thanks. I will trial fit both this week. Still waiting on EV-West and batteries.
