As title:

Anyone using a belly guard on their lowered corrado to protect their sump?

If so which type please.

I see alot of companies in the states have sold them but not uk.

i saw a thread on here of a lad who just chopped the bottom out and welded in a piece of 6mm steel and filled it with water to test it and then even put a extra sheet of 4mm steel on as well and that worked fine for him and by the looks of the pictures it took some real abuse

Mine is like that. Got a thick plate welded on. Got some pics somewhere.

Cheers guys - I'm using a 4 motion ally baffled sump so ideally still looking at a guard.

I may just make one up if time allows.

The sump bolt does go flat after a while as you can see. :shades: ha

I've got a sump guard for mine I havn't fitted, my VR tends to run quite warm and I found that when I didn't run my splitter it ran cooler so probably needs good airflow to cool it. Am tempted to draw it up and get some prices to get some made up

Lol, if you wish. I'll try get a picture next time I'm at my garage. Its a mason tech replica I bought off vr6pete a couple of years ago

Put some longitudinal fins in it for cooling? Would still protect it....hmmm :scratch:
