Re: Under body heat shield
I feel lucky now, i had just recently had mine off the car and shot blasted and i painted it with galvanising paint, i don't like the finish . i wanted it to be properly galvanised but couldn't find anyone, so gave up.
but i now know it wasn't that easy to find a replacement either
