Had a diesel geek skid plate on my 2010 golf tdi and loved it. Where are the skid plates for the mk7? Someone has to be making them someday.

When I spoke to Jim at Dieselgeek about this, he stated that the only reason he has not yet produced one yet is becasue he is worried there may not be enough committed buyers yet. After all, it costs a fair amount to design and produce a batch of skidplates. I can see that he would not want to be sitting on stock that doesn't sell...

Dang, he must have sat on the mk6 skid plates since if they would have sold he would have made them for the mk7. All I know is that is a bummer, as that is one solid skid plate. I would buy a diesel geek in a heart beat if he made one for my mk7 golf tdi.

I contacted Evolution too. They said they were considering making one and to check back in January.

I liked the dieselgeek response and will wait for theirs. Customer service rocks!

I'm afraid Dieselgeek gave me pretty much the same response last May :/

I pinged them again a couple months ago, and it a sounded like they hadn't looked at it yet.

I Wonder if we can talk to Jim, and suggest we get a Group Buy type scenario together... seeing what his minimum quantity would have to be to get producing.

I'm down for 1.

I would definitely be down for a group buy. Loved my mk6 skid plate from him. Quality piece.
