Front under panel missing

[volcanoblack 0]

What solutions has everyone used to replacing the front under panel on the E36. The original plastic panel on mine is completely gone (from when I bought the car). What has everyone used to upgrade or replace their panels?

Has anyone tried the JT Designs aluminum?

Who would be interested in trying to get a group buy going on this?

Cheers.

Yea my car is missing it too

I've been eyeing up one of those JT Design under panels for a while now, so would definitely be keen to be part of a group buy

Would be interested but seeing how big these things are shipping will be $.

There is another one that seems better than the JTD, the Motion Motorsports one.

Probably more cost effective to get it fabricated locally.

The JT Design comes in two main flat pieces with the vertical baffle as the third part - that's why I thought it would be cheaper to get shipped here rather than the one big piece of the Motion Motorsports.

I would think that stacking 5 of these into one box would be considerably cheaper than sending five separately, hence the idea of a group buy. If more people would like the MM piece, then lets look at that for a group buy.

Interested parties?

Here's an update,

No price break for ordering 5 of the JT Design panels. We would need to order 15 to get the distributor pricing which is $78 USD. They can come five in a box weighing 25 pounds and the box is 33"x18"x5". I would estimate the shipping to be about $200NZD = $40 each.

Here is another underpanel that I like a lot since it is plastic and would probably work better during a low speed front end impact - say running into a wall when parking.

Anyway, here is a link to the Bimmerworld SSI underpanel and photo.

not too bad actually

looks more stock, plus like you said, better in a low speed impact
