Are they new?

It is fitted but not much to see. A couple of shiny bolts and the sheet at the bottom of them.


Side on you can see it clears the new exhaust boxes.


It doesn't look like it in that photo but the lowest point is at the front of the skid plate and it gently rises towards the rear. I have also raised the ride height at the front by a couple of cm.

Let's see how long it lasts

Yeah, just wondering if you will recognise your handiwork in the rear view mirror just after you hear that scrape!

I'm waiting for you to get stapled to the floor...
