    Hi, I'm brand new here so please be kind!
    I am just about to buy our first Copen but noticed some cars have a metal plate around the exhausts. Is this to stop the black staining and if so, does it work ok? Can they be retrofitted and can you buy them as a spare part?
    Thanks in advance, Diddlum

    Hi Diddlum, Welcome to Copenworld.
    The rear heat deflector guard is only really a bit of bling for the car. It serves no real purpose other than looking good.
    It is a genuine Daihatsu Copen accessory.
    Here's the last price I had from Daihatsu for this part (June'12):

    99901680K2029 RR BUMPER HEAT GUARD: £116.71+vat

    Hi, i've not got it on mine and have had no issues with staining. As Adam says, it's for looks so nice to have if you want but not a problem if you haven't
