Is it dangerous to drive without this shield?

Not immediately, but the specific component it protects may be more vulnerable to heat damage without it.

What is the shield made of?

Stamped steel or aluminium, sometimes with an insulating layer.

Can a cracked shield be repaired instead of replaced?

For a small crack, some owners use high-temperature adhesive or a patch, but replacement gives a more reliable result.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
