Well it's not like it's gonna get dented in the garage :finger:

haven't got any dents in mine yet

and i've driven everything layton's driven that i know of :twisted:

i've got a big chunk of steel for the towbar that mostly protects it without sacrificing clearance tho.

so have ya picked up the bashplate? how's it fit? how much $$?
