This is probably an obvious answer but I was thinking of removing the wheel arch liners and plastics under the motor. Reason being, the previous owner has put a CS front bumper on the car and the plastic dont really line up too well.

Are the any issues in removing these plastics?

Cheers Guys

I dont see any problems with it, just making sure like.

I will reinforce the corners of the bumper then to stop them warping.

The undertray/plastic under the bumper is, I believe, functional from an airflow perspective channelling air through the radiator.
The inner wing plastics that wrap under the car are to stop stones and cr*p damaging the underside of the engine/car.

I think it's pretty much all functional for airflow and protection, I agree, I wouldn't remove it.
