Tiff 36 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I called the Subaru dealer and he made me feel like a complete idiot, he said there is not such thing? Kye's ripped off the old one in a ditch last night so instead of replacing the old one we'd like the full underbody guard ... anyone know how to describe it better than "a big skidplate for underneath the vehicle?"

Kye's ripped off the old one in a ditch last night so instead of replacing the old one we'd like the full underbody guard ... anyone know how to describe it better than "a big skidplate for underneath the vehicle?" i'll call them "shit plates", but you cant go asking for that in the main dealers.... i dont think the main dealers supply them anyway..... the best thing to do in get intouch with someone that is involved in rallying, they should be able to point you in the right direction, if that fails any half decent engineer should be able to make one, and it would probably be the cheapest option....

marky r 25 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 volkswagens golfs have sump guards but there plastic and crappy your best getting a fabricator to make you one up. i was thinking just then it might cause problems for the air passing over the sump cooling it down but it shouldnt cause a problem should it?

lucky 578 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I saw on the Subaru forum someone mentioned about vehicles with Sump Guards then have air bag problems ... anyone know what problems they mean? not heard of any problems myself, but i always disconnect the air bag sensor (under the seat) just incase i hit something... ,much cheaper to repair when the air bag has'nt been deployed....
