Front Skid Plate

ebay u.k or pulsarbobby on the gtiroc forum

or turbinetech in quebec

speaking of which, I am looking at getting some made - they will be the same as the oem skid plate and hopefully less than what turbinetech charges.

Shipping will suck though I imagine.

good idea i suppose, but i don't take my car off road, the hardest things i hit are orange cones

jeez I hate selling any parts becasue I never know when Im going to use em but wht the heck

I have a FULL set of skid plates - the rear Diff...

they go along the entire lenght of the car either side

PM me if your interested..

Just a note I got in touch with Jess from turbine tech. They no longer sell those skid plates. Maybe a group buy would spark his intrest to do a final run of them as they are pretty tits. Just an idea.

Yeh thanks, but i figured they are pretty much a very hard find but if i can get a few pics of it from the bottom of the car (Just how its mounted underneath) i can get them custom made.

Here's what the originals kinda looked like for comparison. Sizes approximate for top, bottom and side; don't know grade of aluminum. The piece before bending looks to be about 52 long to start, is 75 cm wide, and scrunches up to be about 40 cm from frontmost part of the front rolled lip to rear edge and about 7 cm tall. This used one not for sale, just photo illustration, it will be going back after restraigtening.

I have a 'layered constuction' square aluminum skid pad over the rear diff. It was getting a bit chewed because of the geometry of the aftermarket suspension and swaybar; but changed out the suspension struts and ride height to more like stock and no prob with swaybar contacting rear skid plate.

Lol these are nto realli gud pics lzol

For Some one who has this skid plate on their car, will you be kind enoungh to take one off and take a few pics and lay out the measurements for it in that pic. I think the Whole Gti-R family will be thank full for this.

lol i doubt it.
wysiwyg

I could take pics

And mine goes under the whole engine bay not just half

or zed zee you could sell yours to him, and then let him take all the pics he wants, then he can share with everyone on the forum

funny how everyone wants things for free

there's enough info in the 3-way pic above to reverse engineer the piece for cheap. :) ...those attempting such might use a graphics package, i.e. gimp is free for mac or pc, and should definitely take mounting measurements directly from their car then use a piece of cardboard as a template. ...it ain't no rock et science eh? lol
p.s according to josh nobody called him at dj auto after the original post in a separate thread here asking after acquiring [a FMIC and] this item [josh says some parts moved to other location and he could check]... so, a headsup ;)

I could make that from those pics and with my car... that being said I don't have access to a proper break press with thos curved dys and would guess there's at least $200 of aluminum there...

metal supermarket when called indicated the cheapest most ductile aluminum sheet is best metal for the job, at 4x8'x 1/8" thick = $265 per pc. or on an estimate for front dimensions above, plus an estimated 2'x3' piece for rear diff too was quoted pennies over $100 in materials cut to size.
The stronger aluminum is more brittle and cracks, the softer stuff is ductile takes dents but mostly material scrapes off as seen above.
