Default Under Engine Planel - Plastic guard under car

Can anyone assist with the re-installation of the under engine black cover, below the engine. The part that is for aerodynamics etc. I removed mine but due to a mishap a couple of things were mixed up. Like, there seem to be 2 different screw sizes one blunt and one sharp... also unclear in a few places where the plastic pieces meet in front of the wheels which piece goes on top of the other?

I did some searches but if there is a video or manual page someone could share? I have all the pieces just need to get them back together.

Thanks in advance.

I gave up on the blunt vs pointy screws and just install them.
pretty sure the cover is tucked in the slots, thought it only went one way.

Hey TIG, the cover is called a splash shield or a splash guard. According to this diagram, the big part gees under the small part.



If you look at the diagram closely, you can make out the pointy and the flat bolts.

I removed this cover a few months ago and seem to remember the longer screws in the back, shorter screws in the front, but don't remember which were pointed and which were flat.
