Find another similar car (or search on youtube) and note down where the Language setting is on their car (up, down, left, right key presses). Your manual might also show this information.

Or use Google translate and type in what your MFD displays to see what it means.

Anyone know where I could get two stainless skid plates made up for the underneath of the extensions of the front bumper on the R

I am thinking maybe two triangular moulded/fitted pieces either attached with 3M adhesive or screwed on.

Would help cover up the damage I already have there plus add a bit of protection for next time, and there will be a next time.

A few places do make them for Porsches etc.

If you make a template up out of cardboard, then any steel fabricator would be able to knock some up for you out of steel/aluminium etc for a small fee.
