Gap in rear mudguard

[Nimrod11]

Is this normal? There seems to be a gap in the rear mudguard, just where there's a little fixture for the ECU above. I had never noticed it before.

However, as I went on a little adventure, i was just now cleaning some bits and doing some little maintenance and was surprised to find quite a lot of mud and sand under the rear seat, just near the ECU. This doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

I was just wondering if anyone else had worried about this. Easy to fix, of course...

First thing I did when I brought my 06 home was to fill the holes.   Think I remember something on this forum about the moisture and dirt can cause problems down the line if you don't plug the holes.

Like you say, easy fix.
