XC70 Scrape Plate Swap

Post by BrickedUp »

Has anyone swapped their plastic scrape plate for a metal one? I cringe every time I scrape my plastic one and want to retrofit a metal plate

Went a little bit further and stick-welded a radiators steel cage from 14GA 304 stainless steel sheets that fits under the plastic bumper. Holds a 370 FPS crossbow blow quite well =)
