After the considerable effort of the first one, I have had a number of PM's asking if I have any left. At the risk of being a complete idiot...... ......
How many more people out there actually want this done again????
Please register your interest only. If there are sufficient numbers I will see where things go....
This is dependant on numbers and I'm not making any promises:
Depending on the shipping costs to the States, I am interested.

Shipping to the US
Hi everyone-
For those of you interested in shipping to the US, I just purchased my Mantec plate in the first group buy. The shipping cost (to Reno) was ₤65 ($85 US), but the cost of the plate was ₤27 less, since I did not have to pay UK VAT.
Hope it all works out, its definitely worth the effort.
JMC- I can't believe you are already attempting to organize another group buy!
What was the US cost of the plates? - $85 shipping isn't too bad. I see you're from Reno area...have you taken the LR through the Rubicon? I took my other vehicle through it about a month and a half ago - the skid plate really got banged up - are these pretty sturdy? Will they hold tup to some really good abuse?2005 Zambezi V8 SE
For our US cousins, basically you pay the same as the UK in the first instance (£180) but this means that you have 'overpaid' £27 as you don't need to pay the UK VAT. This £27 goes towards the additional shipping cost and the balance will be requested upon delivery.
In other words, for the US: Plate = £153, Delivery = £65 (approx). You pay £180 first and then the balance of the delivery cost minus £27.
Note: You may be liable to local import taxes and duties. Please refer to your local state rules regarding imports from the UK.
Thank God there's people that drink too much then!
Any guess as to what the shipping to Holland may cost?
I was also wondering: how much of the underside is protected by the Mantec plate? Just the front of the car? Aren't there any exposed/fragile parts in the back of the car, or are they not at risk too much because they are further back? 2006 Zermatt Silver TDV6 'SE' Auto, Mantec sump guard, Frontrunner roofrack, Lightforce 140s, split charge system and... a Jetboil.

Hi JMC,
For those of us not in the know, do you have a link to what it is we're looking at? I know it's underbody protection, but not sure how much it covers etc.Bodsys Brake Bible
Can't see how it could affect SRS. At the end of the day, LR sell the Mantec plate (winch version) as an approved accessory and I simply cant see the plate affecting anything.

Does this affect the SRS system at all?
They use these at the LRE centres in UK so I can't imagine LR fitting them if they would not allow the SRS systems to work properly. Just in case a customer drives into a tree on the course or a truck off it!
