Underneath the bonnet on the NA there is some black plastic trim that goes around the headlights. My passenger side has two pieces that make up the L but my drivers side only has one and seems to be missing the other:

According to the parts breakers the cars they have done have it either. Is this part missing from factory?

Any ideas on why? I can’t see anything that it would interfere with,

Educated guess - something to do with airflow. The gaps in the leading edge of panels can get a lot of air going through them.

Direct water a certain direction.
