just cleaned all the crap off and dropped back onto its wheels ready for the last couple of things to do before i book it for an MOT



the sumpguard is nice and discreet, with the towing eye the only giveaway that there is one there,

well pleased with that

the brackets after colour coded 'Blue' treatment , all clean and shiny







fit the front (mandatory) towing eye




and hey ho, a protected underbelly, safe hopefully from Epynts nasty jumps and bumps

up in the air and on stands






8mm alloy plate , managed to eventually work out where it all went




first job was to clean back the area around the ARB mounting brackets, as the alloy brackets mount to these inside the wheel arch, looks a bit messy as i cleaned back a few layers of underseal / shite, back to bare metal and a couple of coats of Rustkiller / primer






and a trial fit of all the brackets etc before some paint

The sump guard was quite an expensive piece of Kit, considering that basically it is a sheet of alloy and some box section stel, however what a lovelly bit of kit it is, (once i had worked out what bracket goes where, and what part of the car it fits ) with all captive threads and everything shaped beautifully to fit the contours of the underside, well worth the expense for the finished job.
i also took the time to fit the front towing eye and also re paint / touch up the front (new) ARB, TCA, and other suspension bits that got 'knocked' whilst moving the sumpguard about
