After hearing what happened to r32uberwagen's r32 I wanted something to protect the engine etc. Ive had it on for a couple of months and it has already been scraped a couple of times. On a recent cruise, after going down a large hill (at speed) the car bounced through a large dip. I was glad I had the skid plate then. Better the plate than the sump. I'm currently not that low, and the the skid plate does reduce ground clearance (probably by 5cm or so) quite a bit so be mindful of that if you are planning to go ultra low. The plate has also really firmed up the front end a lot as well. For your daily car, which my r is (at this stage!) I recommend it.

      I remember uberwagen mentioning 'panzer plate' cos I googled to see what he was referring to at the time, so he may have got the Dieselgeek one as well...

      • OK.

        No group buys available on a Panzer plate.

        ECS are coming back to me with some pricing on the OEM skid plate.
        Nothing to see here...

            We'd have to bring around 40 of the plates in for real savings, and that'd save about $100 per person (GST and duty fall due on an order of that size, and that's only if they're all in NSW, it'd be less by the time courier costs to other areas are charged).

            Not worth doing I'm afraid.

                    • well it looks like the chumps from UPS have sent my package from ECS back to the states.

                      a) I wanted ECS to ship to my work address, but they wouldnt, so had it sent to my home
                      b) they tried to deliver to my house, but I was at work, so left a message to call them
                      c) I indicated that they should deliver to my work, which they said was ok
                      d) package didnt arrive, and tracking now indicates is in Kentucky!

                      Idiots!

                      • That's why you get them to send stuff with USPS...it just goes to the local post office if you are not home....plus about 1/3 the price.

                        Very interesting tracking a package with Fedex etc...three days to get from US to Sydney (tops) and then it takes at least two or three days to get from Sydney to deliver to my Brisbane address.

                        • UPS was the cheapest option, but yeah Im not going to use them again.
                          Interested to see what ECS says, I'm not paying for shipping again cause of UPS's stuff up

                          • Set up your work address as your paypal address, then you'll save hassle whether you are buying from ecs or ebay. I've been doing that for years now, because i got sick of being stuffed around with goods i had to sign for.

                              • i've been waiting almost 3 weeks now for ECS to ship an order of mine... so painfull.

                                manaz you reckon you'll get the council to pay for damage to your car? I remember there being an acurrent affairs program recently that was about that exact issue.
                                not sure what they said though cos i didn't watch it, just saw an add.
