Yeah but your scraping is just the metal to metal on your brakes ;)



Not any more. ;)

Ripped mine off the rear of my estate, right outside of a bar so everyone outside got a nice few sparks to the face :D had to jack it up and rip it off in a pub car park in the pissing rain, didn't have any problems with it removed.

Lol kinda funny I started this thread today as iv just been proppa stuck on a stupid speed lump thngy. Got caught down a road with them small square ramps and couldn't go sideways as a car was parked. Had to go strait on. I new when I heard my front skirt scrape I was in trouble.
Metal sounding screech all the way down the car and had to give more power in the middle to get off it. Not good. Hope I aint buggered anything.

TOok mine off as it was rattling and bashing about.

JAcking up, just use your widow maker until you can get a jack under it. Just be careful with it as they tend to fall over.

Also you still running helpers?

Ripped mine off the first day of being LOW!
Me and a friend looked at the piece of metal and decided that it was inferior and small so it would not be needed :afro:
Driving up on wood doesnt even get me high enough for jacks now :P
Friend and lifting the car from the arch is the only DIY way now :'(

Running on 16's with 205/45 profile, 195 seemed a tad too extreme for London roads :(
Ride is pretty HARSH but it sticks to the road like glue :afro:
Scrape the splitter EVERYWHERE, smashed up the middle box in the snow and cant drive over the squared humps unless there are two which then means i have to slow down to a stand still and rock over them :D

One thing which amazes me is that i have been slammed for 6 months now and the tracking is still Bang on! RESULT!

I get the finger, flashing lights and Horns but it's ALL worth it :afro:
