Technical Data
As part of our expanding Ford product range, AIRTEC Motorsport is proud to launch our direct replacement aluminium under tray for the Mk3 Focus RS.
The original under tray on this car is notoriously weak due to the fibre material construction and as a result are prone to failure over time.
Our solution to creating a direct replacement under tray in aluminium began with a full 3D scan of the vehicle’s underside to ensure a perfect fitment. As a result, it reuses all original mounting points, as well three additional fittings on the front edge, and is nut and bolted both sides to ensure absolute security.
Unlike any other replacement under tray on the market, our design features no step, which is better suited to lowered cars. The cooling ducts are also larger in size to increase air flow passing over the gearbox and transfer case, which helps to reduce transmission operating temperatures and the sides pieces are larger to create a seal against the arch liners.
Finished in a high-quality black powder coat finish, the under tray offers improved strength, durability and cooling effectiveness.
PLEASE NOTE: The under tray uses existing mounting points and bolts, but it is essential the original plastic fittings the bolts screw into are in good condition. These should only be reused if they still support the bolt properly and you are able to tighten it firmly. If they are worn or broken and offer little to no resistance as you wind the bolt in, they should be replaced with new items from Ford, as failure to do so may cause the under tray to work loose.
The Ford part number for the plastic under tray fittings are as follows:
- W702438-S300
What does an under tray do?
The under tray has three main purposes: to protect the underside of the vehicle from foreign objects flicking up and causing damage or accelerated wear. Secondly, to improve aerodynamics by creating a low pressure area as air accelerates past its smooth surface. This reduces drag, which works towards improving grip, handling as well as fuel efficiency.
Lastly, on performance models, the under tray often provides increased cooling by either venting cold air to, or extracting warm air from the engine bay. Therefore improving the strength, design, size and cooling effect can offer fantastic benefits.
