OEM option in Europe. You can get them for about $100 or so with all of the hardware. Bulletproof.
Surprised no one here has heard of the iabed pan either. It's like the ECS pan but with much better internal baffling.

What is an OEM skid tray? Are you talking about a splash shield?

Not sure if you read my later comments, but I ended up buying an OEM skid plate from a European seller on e-bay.
I did not know there were OEM parts here in the U.S. that came standard on some of the cars sold... I assumed the standard was what I showed in the picture you quoted. So my bad for making an assumption.
Now you have the correct skid tray. Make sure you get the mounting pieces as well. It's a pain to install but you'll never worry about your oil pan again.
The only downside is that the skid tray isn't compatible with any FMICs.

Yup. The piping goes right where the OEM skid tray brackets are and I’d bet that the optional brackets for the ECS street shield that attach to the frame are also going to be in the way.
If you’re set on an FMIC, getting a steel pan is your best bet along with a full aero tray like the optional OEM one, the aliexpress one or the ECS shield without the supports.

None of the Iabed pans I've found fit the Mk7.
If you know of a Mk7 one, please share with the class.

Is the iabed pan not aluminum?
Weld beads look like it.

Might have linked to the wrong one but there is an EA883 version. Confirmed by iabed a few months ago.
