Would it not be more cost effective to have one made here?
I might even give it a go myself...
****now you have done it, watch this space
All
I wrote to Mantec a while back to see if they were still making a front bash plate for the L322. They weren't. But (some months later) I received this email last week. I will let everyone know if its "viable" or cost prohibitive (esp once freight is added).
I've added some photos of the bashplate (plus other underbody protection mantec used to do) in case anyone is interested.
We are now currently going through a price review for this product as we do not have this on our price list anymore and we sort of made the part redundant.
But as I said we do make one off’s for customers and it looks like it will now happen. I am just waiting for the directors and head of engineering to give me a price and I will give it you as soon as I get it.

UPDATE: I will have an update this week from Mantec who are manufacturing new front (per G4 Challenge vehicle) and fuel tank guards for the L322.
At least one Brisbane forum member plus myself are interested. Darren from Mantec is confirming price plus freight to Australia tomorrow so I will let you all know and if interested just email Darren directly at Darren.Williams@mantec.co.uk
Plates for 2002-2009 L322 cars is a certainty; he wanted photos of underneath at front the 2010-2012 model car to check no changes are needed; I emailed these yesterday.
cheers
A few people have asked for a photo (to show its fits later model L322) so here you go - from Mantec:

Is there much under the car at risk? The compressor is protected and everything seems pretty ok. I can see a front plate to protect steering could be useful.

At least one Member dented a fuel tank off road, but otherwise I tend to agree.
