Sorry to sound like a noobie but does it reduce the breakover angle  (underboby clearance) at all ?  I ask because I occasionally get a rub when I turn into my drive.

Yes, just a little, due to the bracing on the X section (see pic), the plate itself is the same thickness as the stock plates. I get the occasional zing across the top of a square speed bump

Assuming it is the standard fitted plate that is catching would I be correct in thinking this would give more underbody protection to anything vital (my other car is an '86 Range Rover with 2" lift, big tyres etc and is used for some serious off-road fun so you can see where I am coming from).  If I try and get the MR2 in the garage there will be some almighty sparks flying - would a breast plate help or hinder?

Well I can't wait anymore so I'm going to contact Corky and get one from the US.

If the shipping isn't that much extra I might buy a few extras.

Possible group buy then maybe ?

I have asked him for prices on 5, 10 and 20 BP's, let's see what happens.

Im in!!!!

All,

There is a small discount for multiple purchases (11+ is much better), however were the big cost saving is with the shipping.

Buying a "single" BP will cost $166+$45 shipping (6-10 days transit time) if we buy 6 then the shipping cost is a much more reasonable $100.

With the current exchange rate of around $1.60 to the pound, I would suggest a price of £110.00 plus any duties and fees (pro rata)

Any thoughts?

From what I've read this is one of the best handling mods for the MR2...£110 is a small price to pay...but what will the duty be? Surely on a bulk postage it will be moe due to the value of the order!

Which means it could work out not much elss than individually shipped!!

Isn't there someone in the UK that can manufacture these?

I'm still in BTW!!!

The breast plate makes the body more rigid and gives the car a more solid feel. It is a very good effect for very little money. You would be hard pushed to ever find someone taking one off their car because they did not like it.

Duty on suspension and chassis parts is 3.5%. This is applied to the value of the package including shipping costs, then VAT is calculated on the total. If you import one at a time, you have high per part shipping cost, then you add duty to that as well as each part, plus handling fee per part (sometimes as much as £25). One big package splits the cost of per part packaging, shipping and handling down by a huge amount. This saves on overall cost and duty.

Hope this helps.

Post up a thread in the group buy section. It may increase interest.
