[928uk] Undertray

[Richard Armstrong]

A 2mm ally undertray makes more sense - I have no front engine undertay 
right now, but the rear one (under cats) is 16 or 18 gauge and about as 
much good as a fart in a colander.
I have access to laser cutting, fabrication and ally welding facilities 
so if anyone has a reasonable pattern I am happy to get a load made in a 
useful thickness, which should cost a fraction of the OPC price - I 
guess about 30-40quid.
