i did a steering rack on a drug dealers cossie years ago,the car was mint before he got it but he had wrecked it,that had an undertray and i kept it for my 24v sierra,i removed it and didnt bother putting it back on,ended up throwing it out when i moved garages.that was just before i discovered ebay or p/f!the dealer is inside now as he got caught with 30k in cash and loads of gear,he wrote off 1 2wd cos in spectacular fashion and stole coultless more rs's in his time.just scum.

I think most of them came with them on but they have properly been ripped off at some point.I wouldnt mind one for my car.It saves the drive getting covered in oil all the time.

most mechanics bet pissed off with all undertrays and bin them and the customers never know tbh. i had one on my saff and i have a saff one in my shed but the lugs where it fits on are knackered. may try one day to fix it and adapt it to my escos.
wont be easy as its a bit mullered

Did it require any mods to fit Nick? Or does it just screw on with those plastic type expandable screws?

i honestly can't remember mike, it was ages ago. i seem to remember having to put some riv nuts in, but that could have been when i put it on the estate that was originally a 2.9 v6 and never had an undertray

Depending on condition, if its mint I would put it up for at least Ł75, that's half of what they were new
