I believe its purpose is to divert air away from the tire/wheelwell to reduce drag.

The heat from the rads is diverted away from the brakes and wheels downward. If you've ever stopped on a sandy or dry dirty road when the high speed fans kick in you'll see the tornado they produce by sending the air straight down.

PS, I replaced all of my front end undercarriage plastic pieces including these because the previous owner had ground them down presumably by driving up a steep rise in his driveway.
