Having a skid plate/splash guard has more purpose than you would believe. The skid plate is used to not only protect your underbody from rogue debris damaging the oil pan, but the other great benefit is protecting your drive belts and pulleys! When you open your hood and look down in front of your engine you see a series of drive belts and most likely you can see straight to the ground where there was originally a splash guard. When driving you are exposing your drive belts to the water, dirt and debris on the road which can lead to premature failure drive belts and accessories (Or even worse, the dreaded belt squeak.)
By now your factory belly pan is either falling off, broken into pieces or missing all together. The Turner Motorsport Aluminum skid plate for the E36 chassis is designed to replace the factory plastic splash shield. It is so common for the splash guard to be missing that we are convinced they never existed at all. Your new skid plate will feature frame mounting along with plastic riv-nuts and hardware to attach to the front bumper for an factory like fitment with extra utility.
Keep your engine bay clean, your drive belts functioning properly and your engine safe from hazards on the road.
