August 17, 2011 - The oil pan skid plate in place.
It's quite easy to install, just hook the curved section over the front of the subframe and bolt it to the car using the two rear mounting points. Everything is protected but it's quickly removed for service. There are a couple of things I could do to make it stronger and I may do that if I get the chance, but at the moment it should protect things in case I make a mistake and bottom out the pan. You can see the side skids are just about level with the back of the plate.
