Title: Plastic Sump Guard
Post by: GolfDan on 28 September 2010, 20:44

When going over speed humps (the type with 3 humps spaced across a road) I noticed a light scrape earlier. Got down to have a butchers and the plastic guard is hanging on either side, with a clip in the centre. The car is only lowered on 30mm eibach springs and has 18's on.

Is there a danger I might take the sump out at any time? I didn't think it would be that low tbh!

Should be fine

I ran mine with 30mm springs and never twitted the sump  :smiley:  The side peices broke on mine so i removed the tray altogether - its still in my shed  :laugh: :laugh:

Jesus, that looks a bit close! How much clearance is there between the guard and sump?

When you remove it you'll see some plastic sound proofing blocks
