I have read the various reports on here since the fitting of these sump guard's with much interest but haven't commented because a lot have had them fitted with their hard earned cash. However after fitting very many sump guards to escorts mini's imp's etc i have to say this is meerly a skid plate at best with a very suspect fitting attachement and as Shooter suggests could cause more problems than it tries to fix. A guard should always be fitted to the frame but another issue on the aero based cars you are also covering the only place underneath the car that gets any air so even more heat build up in the engine bay.This is just an observation we all have a choice.
