Hey,
Which is better:
an Aluminium one Clicky
or
a stainless steel one Clicky
I don't necessarily want one from minispeed, just which one is better looking/will rust less.
Sump Guard

would have to drill a number of holes in the front subby and the guard attaches with bolts of the right size.

i prefurr the rounded front ones like:

apposed to the block ones like:
http://www.minisport..._MORMS0371.html
they look better and in theory they should work better as they would slide over rather than whacking over stuff...

haha also very true!
i always tell myself to pay the extra and get the one i really want as the end result is a a lot more pleasing. when u get the one you got just because it was a little cheaper you always look at it and wish you shelld out the extra few quid.
some people may prefurr the look of the box ones tho its all personal opinion ay

and to be honest it gives minimal protection was a B*****d to fit and if you have a oil leak makes it impossible to find out where its coming from
BUT
does look pretty damn good
