Question

anyone know of anywhere thats sells aftermarket Ally undertrays?

I want to protect my headers (OBX- so they hang quite low) and obviously the OE plastic one wouldnt last 2 seconds..

any thoughts>?

Wrap them with exhaust wrap..

um yeah.
done that already simon

I meant AS WELL AS..
I have managed to damage the wrap seriously by catching the headers on a rock whilst crossing Scoobyclinic's Ford..
they are just very very low.. (I was doing less than 5mph)

they also can catch slightly on some local speed humps (bramcote for thos who know the area)
My car isnbt even that low.. just eibachs..


bttt

What happens after you hit a yump at 150 mph ?

Tyre scrub may be the least of your worries if they are that low?

P20 IIRC has coilover suspension which is maybe a little more yump resistant?

Was about to say the same thing. I don't use it because it adds weight..
