Autodelta the other day changed the order status to "Pending" - don't know what this means, to be honest, but it might indicate they're expecting stock?? Or more likely they've just reached a minimum order level and have finally placed an order with the supplier

Cynical, me? You can tell I have a wholesaling background!

Hi chap

i will be making them.just abit buzy at the mo.
my gtv needs one too. i was going to make it as light as posable.ie.thin ally.all i want it for is to keep the engine bay clean and i think it will help the air flow under there too?
if you want it for protection.then i can make it thicker.but it will put strain on the front bumper mounts.


regards john

Hi John, Diddent take off my undertray last week.Firends turned up and i got very drunk
Crap weather today so no go there.Not sure when you are planning to do this but i have a few days off end of march and will (wether Permitting) be re-spraying rear bumper/side skirts etc,General overhaul basically.So i can remove it then and send you pics and measurements if that is ok

'03 156 JTS

Re: Fitting an alloy undertray

Finally got the time to fit my aluminum undertray to my JTS tonight. Bit of hassle I found. Had bought correct Alfa bolts but found the T10 hex bolts to be too short even when using a jack to push the tray as far up as possible. Needed a few more millimetres I though so just used a bolt I had. Also used tec screws for the 2 connections out wide as didnt line up (3cm out!). Need to find a few speed bumps now or a downhill slope and step on the brakes
