Yes Gray, you only need to take a quick look in the gallery to see how many European versions DONT have the shields.

Hence, my argument that they're not really needed. But like Pottsy said, if they are fitted, then it's best (from a warranty POV) to leave them on.

Has your dealership seen/commented on the rust aspect though? I'm not sure how they're coated (not having any myself) but surely, if their purpose is mainly aesthetic, it's not too clever if they rust!
