Title: Is this normal?
Post by: Sylvian84 on 18 December 2010, 14:20

When parked up on a kerb recently i noticed something hanging down, which i put down to being some slush as it was very icey outside. But on further inspection it seems to be a triangular bit of plastic the same on both sides of the car. Has something fallen down or is this normal?

If thats near the rear, its the end of the plastic panels that are fitted on the bottom of the car. I think its suppose to act as a deflector for stuff been thrown up from the front wheels.

EDIT heres a photo of the underneath of mine is that the triangle you can see?
The end of the black plastic under tray. (bottom of photo just above the yellow/rusty ramp cross beam)

Yes, its close to the rear of the car and seems to be made of plastic. Therefore i would say its the end of the under tray i have noticed. Seems like everything is normal then. :smiley:
