Have any saggys noticed their nuts wearing away?

Actually bolts, the two at rear holding / protecting fibre panel secured to metal plate (underneath de arse). One bolt completely walkies, the second on the way out, ground down to about a 1.5mm head thickness (replaced them for the mo). The metal plate/bolts appear to be the lowest point of the vehicle and with no protection in their own right will continue to disappear, or is this just my driving, worth checking?

Not yet..

Mine are wearing a bit. I cannot comprehend how any body could design the shield so the bolts holding it on are so close to the area most likely to get hit

Also it’s not quite wide enough so a bit of the fibreglass has got scuffed on mine too. Silverstone TVR were talking about producing a better shield using titanium plate, but unfortunately that probably won’t happen now.

My fibreglass front & rear a pretty scuffed, try to avoid this but I'm sure like all of you not always possible. The titanium plate sounds a good idea on all exposed underbelly fibreglass. Perhaps quick fix on bolts would be small 'L' shaped plate secured by bolts, which would naturally bend over the bolts on forward impact, but at least protect...?

ps...nearly up to 6k on the clock, hence perhaps why wearing fast?

I took one for a test drive last week, down some uneven roads. Car made a terrible noise over the bumbs in the road, guy said it was these bolts and yes they do were down but who cares or something like that.
I guess if it's only bolts making the noise then at least the rest of the car is still protected. Obv. need to keep an eye on the bolts though.

Yup...wearing away quite nicely....

They took a bashing when we went to Rockingham and had a 'spirited' drive down some roads which can only be described as mudtracks..(grass growing down the middle!!!! )

Keeeping an eye on them.......
