[quote=""rusty nail""]Sure that will help when the first big kerb appears [/quote]

It's still higher than most cars - quite an old pic. Used it when I did my pan (or dustbin lid as some on here like to call it)!

the silver one is nice - very nice.....

Looks good in the mean time though[/quote]
If your dull enough to drive into kerbs then that succa aint gonna help anyway being made of plastic.

Great post Paul and looks good toyed with this a long time ago after seeing the very same pic of that silver x on x5world but i was unsure how it would work with a black car so never did.
So then i kept telling Sanj how good his would look being a different colour untill he did his

I have seen a black x with one painted silver on and it looks pretty good but still not convinced enough to pay that much for a piece of plastic though!

There is a company on ebaymotors that wil deliver from the usa for about $70 on top of the price of the skid plate if i can find the link i will post it up again.

This looks like an easy and effective Job, Is the Skid plate metal or Plastic?

Plastic - mentioned in the first and last post.

OEM part but in U.S. only.

Very true, but the owner having lowered the car AND being stateside, who knows what may happen.

The crowd i sourced it from sent it for $50 - which was the cheapest of all the quotes i got - just a pity customs got hold of it

I love these they really are the dogs danglies. The zerocheif silver one was the picture that made me want one of them especially as I have a silver car.
Its a toss up new boiler for the house or maybe one of these ......hmmmmm

The tightwad in me says many fibreglass clones for UK users could be made of one if we had one as a mould plug

Is that even allowed

Rumour has it that 'paulbryson75' has one he's just fitted

I thought the exact same - the bit is quite heavy duty and seems good quality but was talking to a work colleague who used to work as a fiberglass moulder - he reckoned they made moulds form all the motorbike fairings they could get their hands on - then sold cheaper fiberglass copies - reckons made a fortune doing this. This is such a simple piece compared to a bike fairing so surely would be easily done.
Googleing the 'skid plate' throws up lots of Chinese companies offering the skid plate - as long as you want a container load made
