the plastic studs that keep the engine cover in place are missing is it ok to drive the car without this cover on or will the engine be subjected to the elements that could damage it.
it will be fine to drive it. although it keeps water off engine. the rubber studs are very cheap and easy to fit onlyneed a 10mm spanner and 5 mins to fit so you may as well get it fixed soon anyway.
