Not a recommendation as I haven't tried it myself but MPP is a respected company. This mounts in the front...is that where the damage happened? I could see needing one of these in the back too, especially if an object is kicked up by the front tires. ... more

Appreciate that. Yeah I think the damage happened at the very front of the battery pack which is covered by the cardboard like skid protector. Rpm ended up having a sale and discount for combo front and back aluminum skid plates. Ended up buying them for both cars (I'll put it on the 3 whenever it gets back to me.) ... more

Very nice! I had a similar plate on my previous A4. In this case, it's just light scraping on the side rails, so only extra clearance would have helped me out here. But I might pursue the skid plate anyway! ... more

Hi, Ran over a tire (fragments) at 75 mph. Quite frustrating. Luckily mostly exterior cosmetic damage however it looks like the plastic tray popped out and the fabric ripped. Does anyone have experience with the Rpm product (link below)? Is this the piece I need to replace (it's a bit challenging for me to tell...). Does ... ... more
