The under body trays on most modern cars are used not only to protect the systems from road debris and weather but to also manage the air flow under and around the vehicle
The GTI is no exception even though it does not have as many trays as some vehicles. You will need to remove these trays to get access to most of the work you will want to perform on the cooling systems of the car along with a host of other projects.

It supports the windshield. The B-pillar is located between the driver and passenger door. (Note: not all cars have B pillars).
