Racecomp Engineering: btw, what do you think of designing some simple as possible engine protection plate, that has ski like front side, that would go over lower part of front bumper, and would be simple to mount/unmount (for example some hook like attachment below/rear, single thumbscrew front, to quickly mount it before "starting to have fun" and mount/unmount without having to lift car, when one drives back home on normal roads. It should also simplify going above snow piles, while stock bumper bulldozer shape would tend to dig in). I'm not thinking of some real strong aluminium plate or even CF protection of car & engine with multiple strong attachment points to frame that can held against really heavy hits, as it won't be for real rally/rallycross, just so, slight protection when sliding off track. Otherwise ending with nose in deep snow pile may mean relatively expensive damage to bumper & maybe rad/conditioner heat exchanger (hopefully for non pre-MY2014 car when it was for use with very expensive 1234yf gas), even if speeds were low and "normal cars" would have slide above with near to no damage at all.
