mines not lowered, mainly cos i have to park on kerb outside my house and it wouldnt make it if i drop it, but ive spent a bit of time underneath the car, more than id like to.

the centre of the exhaust has a mount which is attatched to a large metal plate, this is the lowest point and prob what youve hit.

Cheers lads i'll have a look.

Had this problem with my old 2.0 gti, used to hear a horrible scraping noise when taking square speed bumps in the centre, no matter how fast or slow i was driving.
One day the exhaust sounded mega loud, as if there was a hole in it, i took it to quick fit who said the exhaust had been knocked out of place & kindly put it back free of charge.
After this i naively returned to stock suspension, no idea how much it had been lowered before i bought it...
