Or is there any danger leaving it open to be rained on wrt electronics and/or wirings (especially of lights) and others? Car is an Altis A/T, if it matters. Or should I tape the hell out of it to keep rain out?

    TIA! Hope everyone's dry and inside today!
    i have a 2003.
    there's nothing much behind my front bumper.
    there's the wiring for the bumper foglight...
    i'd cover the damaged part with similar-color duct tape. it helps keep the insides clean.
    everyone loves duct-taped cars. (go NASCAR!)

    see to it that the fender undercover isn't flapping around like a butterfly, as continuous flapping while driving might damage it or just tear it off.
