After looking under my MK7 GTI and seeing that it's got a plastic sump. The sump sits pretty low, on mine this is exacerbated by the fact my GTI is lowered posing an even bigger risk of fracture or damage. I'm considering adding some protection in form of a sumpguard. Has anyone else done the same?

Some people on the R Forum have fitted the sump from the Tiguan which is metal, other have gone for the undertray from the all-track which is stronger.

You might find this link useful. There is a section on front undertrays and fitting - taken from Golfdave's post in the guides section of the forum https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/all-of-golfdaves-how-to-retro-fit-guides.337352/
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.

Cheers guys.

Will do some research and update the thread if I decide to get a more heavy duty solution fitted.
