Default Exhaust bumper shield

Hi Gents,

Had a great track session recently - I'm spitting flames. Fine by me, but i'd like to have some exhaust cut out shields on my bumper to protect the paint.

Was wondering if there is an off the shelf solution, before I start investigating fab costs?

IIRC the white NB 964, with black RUF wheels and a 993 TT engine has some kind of solution...

I can't seem to embad that guys pics but compare:

I'm not sure how much the extra garnish would have avoided the original damage.

Bumper meltage can be a problem if you spit flames in a serious way. I'd be inclined to go with some proper heat protection tape.

Would look a little garish but will get the job done.
