[Mk2] [Generic] Front undertray to fit a Border bumper

Post by Magic Beans »

Are there any front undertrays available which fit a Border bumper, or are custom pieces needed?

What have others who have the Border bumper on done?

Kongaroo on here has a custom undertray for his Rev6 border-esque front bumper. Maybe worth a PM mate :thumleft:

Thanks for the heads up :thumleft:

I spoke to him a while back, as I'd spotted his on his garage photos. Custom piece which was made by Mr G.

I'd be surprised if that's the only way you can get them though. Considering how long the bumper and replicas have been in production for :shock:

Still interested to hear what others with Border bumpers have done for front trays?

I'm right in thinking that not having them fitted has an adverse effect on front grip/stability? :-k

i never refitted my front undertray when i fitted my rev6 front end. tbh it only felt a little skitty at high speed on the motorway, i noticed the rust on the bottom of the radiator and fans come very quick without it though

From what I've read and heard there doesn't seem to be anyone making undertrays for these bumpers and many other aftermarket bumpers. Which seems to be a massive hole in the market and will most likely not be filled now.

I guess I'll have to look at making some myself :-k

Why not get Peter to make you one like mine but with some sort of quick release mechanism? Mine's still going strong after several years :thumleft:

Sounds good to me :)

Would you need the bumper to take measurements, or could you get them from one you have there? The bottom corners flare out as they meet the arches, so it would be good if the tray could pull them in too :thumleft:

I'd need to make a template from your own bumper, so would need you to be in the workshop for a day.

Those undertrays are going to be a waste if you can't fit in your car :mrgreen:
