If your MINI is lifted, lowered or at stock height, a M7 Skid Plate is cheap insurance.
The M7 Speed designed and manufactured skid plate for all R55 through R59 MINI is a functional work of art. It is CAD designed and CNC computer laser cut in the USA from 1/8" (3 mm) thick military grade aluminum plate.
MINI Cooper engine & transmission oil pans are made of very thin sheet metal and plastic that is easily cracked or punctured by most any object they come in contact with. The lowest point on your MINI is the oil pan drain plug and is the first part to get destroyed. Then you have 5 quarts of oil on the ground and not in your engine. Things such as on-highway road debris, manhole covers, parking lot bumpers and speed bumps or off-highway stones, rocks & tree stumps will destroy the underside of your MINI.
