Thanks for the reply David. Does the tray attach at the back edge too or is it fixed at the front only?

The wheels and tyres aren't standard and are indeed wider. I like them but it's not my car - the owner may want to change them back, I don't know. I'll have a look tomorrow when I'm with the car and let you know the sizes.

Attached is a side view of the car.

Mark, where is that car now? I am pretty sure it was for sale on ebay here in the US last summer!

The undertray rear edge is screwed into the front of the crossmember.

Yes, my friend in the US bought it and sent it over here to the UK.

As far as I can tell the wheels are either 7 or 7.5" between rims. Tyres are 215/55.

Thanks for the info on the tray.

Thanks but what diameter are the wheels or tyres 215/55R???

the tray is a very simple sheet with two or threes slight parallel bends in it crossways and slight tilts at the edges.
