Title: What damage could I have done?
Post by: Emeye on 29 November 2008, 21:16

 :cry:

Driving onto the unfinished drive of a new house my mate is buying, I managed to catch the car on a kerb stone that was sticking up. I was only going slowly, but it was enough to make me wince and seemed to come from under the engine. On the way off I went VERY slowly but it still caught!

What sticks down that I could catch and is it well protected under there? :sad:

I had a look but couldn't see any damage. :huh: Hopefully i's okay.

Cheers.

Dude
scrapes underneath sound horrid, but usually are no big deal, unless yer leavin a trail of oil or fluid dont flap about it, whats done is done, enjoy and drive.
cheers

I have one of my cars' underside. Unfortunately from the rear, but you may get the idea.
