I mainly want one to tidy up the front end where you can see the ends of the chassis legs. But suppose it could give some more protection aswell.

Steel plate would do the trick, with some holes in and paint it black to match the rest of the car :)

1) I do
2) B&Q, at least the galvanised sheet it's made of did.
3) On the mounts under the front end for a bash plate, that presumably Suzuki maybe made at some point but doesn't seem to exist . Or decided not to fit, but left the mounts in place :huh:

I had much the same idea, but wasn't really too keen on the first attempt and took it off. Back to the drawing board... :angry: If you look under the chassis rails you'll find the mounts, complete with welded on nuts. They're at a guess 6mm so probably wont take too much weight, but they'd do for something mainly cosmetic.

Pinched some photo's from difflock, so credit goes to them for this and it isn't mine, it's pretty much a how to and shows where to mount it really well using what's already there :)

I looked into this too ... the mounting looks easy .. I have many doodles of things I want made for the Jimny as soon as I can find a fabricator local to me... Side bars, rear bar, front bars ... bash plate.

even started to lok at a swing away rear wheel carrier mounded to the chassis ..
