This cover on what appears to be a air intake was missing on a GT Sport TDI that I looked at. Why would it be removed?
It shouldnt be too hard to replace right?

I've seen a few that have fallen off, I suspect they're not installed correctly. If you're unlucky (or lucky from another perspective) you'll find that cover jammed in the cooling fan. Alternatively you may find parts of that cover in the fan or parts of the cover in parts of the fan. Usually they're just sitting on or around the undertray though.
If you can't find it then they are easy enough to replace, not sure how expensive they are. -
they are reasonably cheap from your vdub dealer and always available since they are the same on so many models...
no stress, good luckComment

Good question. I'm thinking it may insultate the bottom of the bonnet from the rising heat?Originally posted by jazd View Post2007 Black Magic VW Golf GT TDi, Latte Leather, Sunroof, Bluefin Superchip, 18" Detroits, APR lower torque arm insert, APR Carbon Fibre Cold Air Intake system, GTi sideskirts & front lip, R32 Rear Bar, GTi Steering wheel, RNS-510,Infinity BassLink Subwoofer,stubby antenna, R8 Oil Cap, Golf R front calipers, slotted front rotors, ceramic brake pads, LITEC LED tail-lights, Dension Gateway Five, Rear Emblem Reverse Camera, H&R Ultralow coil-overs, Badge-less front grilleComment

I've not run one for two years now. Decreases noise, looks pretty, retains heat, slows access for tinkering.

Can someone please let me know the part number on the underside of your air intake cover (as in where the red arrow is pointing).
It has three small clips and then just pops out.
For reference, mine is Part No. 1K0805965J

If you find that part to be expensive you may want to consider spending the cash on one of these - it will replace that missing part.
