Hi All,

Trying to get hold of a rain guard/ splash guard for my engine bay - can't find one anywhere!!

An ignition shield is what you seek:

Not sure if it'll fit injection models though.

I can't claim this idea as my own, but my car has a unique solution added. Someone took a rubber rear floormat and screwed it to the
front behind the grill so it hangs down in front of the distributor. Simply find a rear small floor mat, remove the grill and install.

I got one from that eBay link last week, all it needs is the bottom lip bending up (if you're going to use the fasteners)
It's not 100% perfect finish wise but I'm not running a show and shine! lol
