What is the name of the engine cover part under the car?

Hi,

I have a 2001 Corolla. This winter I had a misfortune and went over a curb. The only damage was that, the passenger side plastic engine cover thing got ripped off.

Before winter comes I want to replace it, to give protection to the pulleys from salt and dirt.

I am looking at used car parts online, but can't find any part like that. Does it have a specific term for it in Toyota Corolla's?

To explain more, it is one half of the plastic cover under car that covers the the engine area from below.

They just call it a splash shield or lower engine cover - from what I've seen. Not the easiest part to get of hold, surprisingly. Might try a bodyshop - as they could point you in a right direction. Dealership would be another option. Salvage yeards/Pick and Pulls - are starting to get a larger supply of 8th gen Corollas - might be able pull one from there.

As far as potention goes - I've pulled both my lower engine covers/splash shields from working on the car the past several years - even with salt and debris being thrown up there - engine will get pretty dirty, but will be fine.
