I'm sure there is one in the shed that was purchased for some reason or another years ago...
I'm sure it has had the number plate holder trimmed right down.
Im back at the weekend. I'll see if its there under a tent, under a gazebo, under the bbq.
Unless you can find another one somewhere.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time

I would say it's more to do with how the under-tray has been fitted than the product itself. It looks like it's not been secured in place very well.
Looking on the bright side, at least you now have more storage space :wink: :lol:

Chris.

lol at the storage space!...Do you have one of these undertrays? Just 2 screws secure it to the rear and 2 self tappers straight into the undertray directly underneath...Unless im missing something?

Not man enough for the job long term, ive seen a few sitting on the rear tyre over the years...
I didn't know they were troublesome like that. You need to fix it fast more so than what yours was, which is probably obvious now :)
No I haven't got one fitted, but I do have one,

Chris.

Mines secured with fairing rivets and I've never had a problem, sounds like yours may have been bodged a bit?

Taking a closer look at your picture, looks like the tab on the tail fairing has been snapped off!

best picture I could find:

I have 2 of those fittings in the rear mate ...but 2 self tappers in the front, not fairing rivets, is yours a pyramid plastics jobbie..?

Yep, during the undertrays break for freedom its caused the tab to snap off.

You're having more operations? You've had more than I've had hot dinners at this point I swear.
What did I miss, your extra toes and webbing growing back?

I'm annoyed today because I walked into a step last night and have woken up with a gnarly looking broken toe :(
