The Best E30 Sump Guard Ever!

[pac1982]

Check out this guys sump guard think I may have a bash at something like this myself I know it looks a bit scrap heap challenge and my E30 is far from ratty but you don’t see what’s under the car.



May as well make use of paying for road tax somehow lol

i like that. as it goes, i have a sign with a horse on it, in my garage

[SLIMADI]

I would love to see the MOT mans face when he sees that

[Stifla]

A freind of mine collected one of these on a night out once, he didn't remember anything about it! lol

When i went round his place it was standing in the middle of his lounge frame and all, we ended up turning it into a coffee/beer table in the end.....

[Alburglar]

I'm sooo doing that!

A guy I know with a rally 205, used a big road sign as fuel tank guards, when he had been having a bit of a play down the lanes, a copper pulled him over, as he had an odd glow under the car, turns out the sign was reflecting the glowing brake discs onto the road

nice Mod ...

[gareth]

that's awesome! would be much better with a 'slippery when wet' sign though!

And people thought neon lights were cool!

I like the idea of a coffee table sign!

I think the "Roadmarking in progress" sign for the sump guard would be very fitting for a drift-tramp kinda car

[DanThe]

Gotta be a drift 'persons' car

(See how I did that without offending anyone )

Getting all PC in your old age Dan!

[TheHeap]

[magpie]

Depends whats behind the road sign could have some sort of brace in place besides if you look at a OEM E30 sump guard the metal aint much thicker than a road sign its strengh comes from the metal bar that looks like a ARB

i feel sorry for the poor road workers with no signs letting on coming traffic they are at work.

You have clearly never seen a proper sump guard

They are never at work town, they are either sitting in a van reading a paper or propping up a shovel while drinking from a thermos

an oem sump guard is a right lump of steel

[JWaller360]

Yeah, a proper rally style sump guard is a fair old bit of metal, ours is 6mm duraluminium (can't ever spell that) with a T45 tube holding it to the chassis, I think its probably stronger than the 205 chassis rails it mounts too

I was thinking the same thing
