Mystery part - front of wheel wells "mud flaps"

[Dave80GTSi]

These air scoops arrived today, and are now fitted.

First picture shows the parts along with the broken pieces which caused me to start the search for them. Notice that the part numbers are visible for future reference. Next three pictures show them fitted (car is on my lift), along with the new mud flaps.

It is easy to see how careless drivers could run the nose of the car up onto a traffic curb and wipe them all out at once.

Thanks to all for helping me solve the mystery!

I could be mistaken, but it looks like you also added GT2 or GT3 brake air scoops to your 986.

Which now don't do much with the other air diversions.

Not sure what Porsche was trying to solve with those various "flaps". That is the radiator air exit not the entrance.

GT2/3 and Turbo divert air into the wheel wells and toward the brakes. I cut my liners in my spec box to do the same + have brake air scoops.

Maybe it's for driving in heavy traffic when the radiator fans are off.

Yes, that is the case.
