Default Skid plates for LP640

I'm sure this is beating up an old topic, but does anybody know of a good source for skid plates for the front bumper of the LP640? After only about 1 week of ownership, we've already banged it on a minor dip in the road, and I'd like to help minimize damage in the future.

I know Ricambi America makes them for Ferrari's, but I don't know if anybody has them yet for the 640.

This car is BY FAR the easiest of our 'enthusiast cars' to scrape. However, it's also the best!

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Bit difficult in certain cities like Sydney. We have some of the worst roads in the developed world. Think NYC, but on a much larger scale...

Just further to this, our roads here fall apart every time it rains... so you will be driving along a road you know like the back of your hand and BAM!! two blown front tyres and bent wheels

Then they fill in the holes with cheap patchwork which then erodes again next time it rains

What sort of components are under the front of the LP640? I assume fuel pump, tank etc, but what else?
