Has anyone ever attempted to fix there cracked skid plates? I tried with zip ties but was wondering if anyone knew of a kind of bonding solution i could apply

 

skid plate?? you mean the oil drip tray under the engine, try putting some aluminium plate across the tear and rivet it in place that should work nicely

 

that sounds like a better idea, i may just do that..(plate with rivets)
i used aluminum tape it works ok...

Yeah but what is that $200+? Dieselgeek carries them. I'd love to get one but can't justify it until I end up lowering the car.

You can get a W8 belly pan from a VW dealership for like $50 new and it fits the A4. I tried to fiberglass mine and it broke again after a week. I just bought a new one and zip-tied the crap out of it.

 

was wondering if the plastic belly pan was even required...

 

I dont ahve 200 bucks to blow on a plate...

 

I would think its easy enough to make up your self with a sheet of aluminium?

 

The plastic pan keeps dirt and crap from getting into the engine bay. It also apparently helps to disapate heat and make the bottom of the car more aerodynamically efficient. If you notice on highperformance cars the bottoms are all fitted with sheet metal to make it totally flat. Not that the A4 is a highperformance car... well maybe Tom's
