Check your email Roger.
It'll be great if you can find-out what you guys have under the driver's side. Just to satisfy my own curiosity 
Happy Holidays!

Re: bash plate
Hi Jalal,
Going back through the thread and comparing the Type 1 and type 2 bashplates, which in your opinion had the better ventilation ?
Also, do you think the hole in the middle of the type 2 bashplate just under the exhaust would be a concern for damage ?

Re: bash plate
Kev,
I believe there is sufficient ventilation with both types of bash plates, but Type 2 may have a bit more of it with the cut-out letters at the front of the bash plate.
The hole under the exhaust for Type 2 bash plate is a bonus because this is the part of the exhaust that will generate heat in an enclosed area of the bash plate and force that heat up into the engine bay.
Type 1 bash plate has a similar type of ventilation with the cut-out grooves.
There is no way you would scrape that part of the exhaust as the chassis bracket and sumps sit lower than this part of the exhaust, if you do managed to do that somehow, your sumps will be the ones to worry about rather than this section of the exhaust.

Re: bash plate
Good stuff Domenic.
1 hour to install it is a good time indeed. Mine took a bit longer because of the aftermarket nudge bar 
In terms of ground clearance reduction, think of it as an added alarm system when you hit something, so you'll know that you're in "danger zone" but at least with the bash plate on, you don't need to worry about that first "bang" causing any damage.
