Skid plate

My Mini Cooper s is static and very low to the ground only about and inch clearance from the current rennline aluminum skid plate I want to get a steel skid plate that can withstand the constant abuse of being so low because my current aluminum one has been scraped away, anyone know the best place for a custom fabricated skid plate or a skid plate that would work

You would have to get one made , I surprised the rennline one did not hold up , you must be very very low. I would take the rennline off and go to a machine shop to simulate that one in steel, Might want to get a treated steel otherwise the panted one will rust after the scrapes, .
