Thanks guys! Found a set. Britpart DA1080. Sorry donkeychomp - didn't mean to threadjack you so badly!

Got the diff guard made up today...also put in a mesh grill to protect the lower part of the radiator. I have the template if anyone wants a guard made up! This was all done at my mate's inherited workshop...there is a ton of gear in there!

Until I can get a snorkel I thought I'd connect the diff breathers to a little air filter, found a handy bracket in the garage that worked perfectly. Also go this roll bar for a tenner of the bay, it will be a basis for an internal cage.

I love this thread mainly as your doing thing that are so simple and making the car look 100 times better.

Home made... Brilliant! I made some underbody protection for the Vit out of some old checker plate as simply as I could. Needs a joint welding between the middle, and back plate, but having been out since, it is the best thing I've done. The front bumper is a bar and step from a truck as well. Just added a top piece.

Cheers Ollie, trying to keep everything as simple as possible so if I can do it anyone can!

And another fine bash plate there, they are quite easy to make, better than forking out £200 for a new one

Next job is a new exhaust and fit that roll bar, stay tuned.

Well, the front ones are expensive. Mine was as simple as it comes. Rectangle, with a bend in it. Bolt it on, job done. Cost? Probably a few lev for bolts. I like shit simple. My brother has some nice limping underbody protection for his SJ, and that cost close to 500 euros.
