It's not the weight that's the problem with shipping something like this, it's the size and protection required. Would you trust Royal Mail Standard Parcel posting in bubble wrap?

PS I'm not the seller, I just know the problems of posting certain items and having buyers moan about the cost

Would rather not have one to be honest mate. I agree, a must, if your using it in wet weather and want to keep the engine bay clean. Although mine wont be seeing any wet weather at all.

Is this tray pretty rare then as all the cars ive seen havnt had one??

Ain't that the truth The sheild is actually in two parts, he is selling the larger part. The sheilds are for not only protecting the engine from being dirty they are also to protect against damage and to aid cooling. (ads I had this convo with you on the FRST )
I was lucky enough to find both parts brand new
Main part:-


Front part below the rad and intercooler


Fitted


Just need the fooking upper stone deflector to complete my plastics
