Front Bumper

On the very bottom of my front bumper in the middle it almost looks like something is missing, like a strip of black plastic maybe. There is a 1/4 wide tab in the very middle can someone tell me is there is something missing, I took off the license plate bracket and I'm going without any plate at all, I'm in MA and I have a green plate so i'm good. I'm having the holes from the bracket filled in and having the bumper taken off and sprayed. Is there a piece that belongs in the middle on the very bottom?

the car is home, its a regular s550 and it has an inch wide black skirt as you may call it on both sides closest to the ground but in the very middle it almost looks like a piece is missing. Is there a part of the skirt that goes there. I'll take a pic and post it tomorrow

I just got underneath the car and I'm now thinking that's the way the bumper is, car is going in Friday to get the bumper sprayed I may just ask them to take a look at it, it's such a nice car.
