eBay belly pan

Hi I have seen on eBay a company offering belly pans at a stupid price
http://bit.ly/11SPVlY has anyone tried one of these ? I know you only get what you pay for but they have good feedback

I would have thought finish quality is much the same as this viewtopic.php?t=18905

Have you checked there www. It states there are no holes drilled (probably a good point) and there are NO fixings or bolts!!!!

but at that price delivered it's got to be worth a punt

That's what I thought worth a punt can't lose at that price !! Could spray or get it wrapped will order one and let you know how it goes

If you do get this item check out this thread,

viewtopic.php?t=15771&highlight=belly+pan+bracket

there's info for making the brackets care of skiddyboxer I believe.

They will also sell you a universal belly pan fitting kit for £20, might be ok.

Gruffalo, I have the same belly pan (as does Boxerscott and I think Blackal) the quality is good - seams need a little sanding. Boxerscott posteds pics after spraying and stickered up. Mine is currently away getting sprayed and the painter seemed to think the quality was good. Well worth the money IMHO - Chris, Did you check on decals for me?

As said - they come up nice.

Bugger me that looks bloody good !!
Who made up the brackets for you? ( not that I am lazy )
I've ordered one, thought of getting it wrapped but that spray job looks good

I’m a bit too late here, but for anyone else shopping for this bellypan: it’s a bit cheaper if you buy it from the manufacturer directly: http://ricambiweiss.com/en/11-bmw
Inspired by this thread, I placed an order just 10 min ago.

Boxerscott and myself fitted them to BCRs, so already had the brackets. Nothing special to the brackets, as long as you can drill stainless.

I'm getting a clear wrap on mine when it's painted. Check Owen Pilling Graphics. They do a clear wrap for exclusive cars to protect from stone chips. If it does the job i'll get the genuine bellypan wrapped too.

Just had an afterthought - might enquire about a coloured wrap

Blackal · Post by **Blackal** » Tue Feb 18, 2014 8:47 am

The clear wrap sounds like a good idea.

How much, Dave?

Al, they do 2. the more expensive to protect against stone chips was about £85 per linear metre (about 1 x 1.2). Not sure if that included applying it. I would think applying to the bellypan would involve a bit more work than to the front of a car.
