I want to buy a Skid plate but i'm in the UK...

[Helmuth]

Mounted mine now after having it painted in the cars color (Titan silver).
After one hour - without touching anything on the car and without driving I had what you see at the last picture. If you over-torque (ist that an understandable word?) these funny rubber things which should hold that plate you will have the same.

To be honest - I am not really sure if that cool skid plate will still be there after my 2000km vacation drive I have planned for next week.

Helmuth, mate, take my advice, get the bumper off and fix a bolt inside to hold it on.

Trust me, its not nice seeing your skid plate in your rear view mirror (as happened to me. On top of which it could also be dangerous.

I wish I'd taken mine off when it started to lift away. It was so much of pain getting the replacement (customs etc.), you can be sure the next one (fitting it tomorrow) will be properly bolted on.

Don't worry, the three holes you made wont be visible when the skid plate is removed till you have time to fit it with nuts and bolts.

All the best with the long drive. I did London>Milan>Krakow recently, was a real pleasure in the X.

Cheers, Kev.
