Evening all.
Does anyone know whether you can get Mudtech parts from a UK distributor? I quite fancy their rear skid plate (and front one for that matter). If anyone’s used their parts or bought from Spain I’d be interested in your feedback. Many thanks  2007 D3 SE - currently having all sorts bolted to it...
Series I 1953 - original, unmolested and well loved
FL1 Diesel - gone - not missed...
FL1 Petrol - gone - some good memories...
Series II - gone but not forgotten

Quick answer is no, lol, but I've bought lots of stuff from EU distributors in Euros just using a normal credit card and never had a problem. There's a Mudtec dealer just over the channel in Belgium called DefParts who list the part you're after ( https://www.defparts-webshop.com/nl/product/rear-skid-plate/ ) and I'd personally have no hesitation in buying from them.
That said, I would hesitate to buy the one you're looking at. I have a D3 and I'm also looking for rear underbody protection. I have D44 (by Devon 4x4) front underbody protection, which I think is excellent, but sadly they don't do anything for the rear. The Mudtec one you refer to seems to be fine for protecting the underside of the bumper and closing in the gap to the spare, but it does nothing for the rear axle and exhausts and it still appears to leave a gap on the leading edge of the centre section which could "dig in" if it grounded on a rut or bank. Cosmetically it's nice though, so perfect if that's what you're looking for.

He's also doing a very cheap swingaway carrier which I am struggling not to hit the buy it now on 05 D3 V8 HSE, LR Passion tree bars, wildbear compressor guard, LRP switch panel, ARB rear locker + compressor, Trigger 6 shooter electrical system

I've a couple of points to make.
Do you really need all that underbody protection? I've got front guard, compressor guard and tree sliders, having had a decent look under my car after traversing the Pyrenees off road and through the High Atlas mountains and desert in Morocco, there's no dents on the tank, diffs, bumpers or anything, only a few scuffs on the plastic shields around the exhaust pipe.
Secondly, the spare wheel carrier wipes out the rear reflector and there's no suggestion of an alternative and the gas strut to hold the wheel out looks to interfere with the lower tailgate going flat. 1972 Range Rover Classic 2 door V8

Fair point on the wheel carrier - some times things really are too good to be true 05 D3 V8 HSE, LR Passion tree bars, wildbear compressor guard, LRP switch panel, ARB rear locker + compressor, Trigger 6 shooter electrical system

It might obscure one rear reflector, but there are three others there, plus it would be easy enough to fit a replacement if you needed to.
I do agree about the strut interfering with the lower tailgate.
