I want to buy a Skid plate...Any ideas?

Post by Roy2593 » Sun May 08, 2011 1:03 am

Hi all,

I realy like the look of the skid plate you can get for the X, it brakes up the look of the front bumper!

Unfortunetley i can not get one here in the UK, only in the US i have heard.I have searched google but have had not much luck.

Does anyone know where i could get one in the US And know if they would ship to the UK?

I would love to get one as it would finish off my X nicely!

Many thanks for any help,
Roy.

If you know any of the guys on the xoutpost forum you could ask them to ship it for you? When I was looking I had one forum member prepared to do this for me, but can't remember who it was now. :oops:

Or if you/family/friends/forum member on here go there, then you can get it from most dealers. But get it from a dealer... Some aftermarket one's are different.

And then there's eBay, got mine off there in the end, got VERY lucky.

Anything shipped will have the chance of getting stopped by customs and this can get expensive, take that into account too.
