Is the plastic engine cover really needed?
And if they blew off your complaint with the excuse that the cover had no purpose would that satisfy you? While the plastic shield over engines is certainly an effort to have a finished appearence many catch spilled oil, etc., protecting ignition coils, sensors, etc.
Why did I Lose my engine cover on my focus?
If you see how flimsy the plastic is on most engine covers it’s clear they are simply cosmetic! Most common cause of loss is the tech forgetting to put it back on or it getting broken while being taken off/put back or broken while off the car (eg driven over by another tech!).
Where can I buy an engine cover for a Ford Focus?
If I recall, the studs where there for most but only Zetec > got the cover. Check the engine bay, if you have the studs, you could buy an engine cover from the dealer, or from one of the FOC’s recommended suppliers (or ebay if you so wish!).
What do you call the cover on the engine?
They’re called engine appearance covers. They’re called that because they’re just there for appearance. I just live with it. On my Acura, they have covers not only on the engine but the front and both sides of the engine compartment. You have to take the covers off to even check the brake fluid.

Do you need nuts and bolts for no engine cover?
Shouldnt cost too much all you need is a couple of 10mm nuts to hold it in place (I have some at home, but cant remember their exact dimensions, bought a cheap set of 10mm nuts and bolts (cant remember the diameter though) from B&Q and it fit perfect (I dropped my old nut into the sump tray and it was never to be seen again!)
