my mate said exactly the same. but its the angle i took it. the sump ( i think) cuts across the view of the wheel and makes it look like its bukled! but its definatly not only had the tyres put on nyesterday and not a dent :D

Lip really looks bent to me, but pics can be deceiving sometimes. I'm too scared to have mine that low, maybe if I had the audi 3.2 sump, but I ain't so mine is quite high compared to that lol

They bolt right up and vr6 gasket fit's perfect. The sump will give you about 12/15mm more road clearance. It's baffled as standard and capacity is the same as a vr6 sump.

It's something I really want to do, but there are other things more important to sort out first.

Look carefully on a clear screen and it is as said something like the sump or something a similar colour just in the wrong place lol.

Pretty low, mine is very low like that, only a 1.6 so it just beaches on the subframe/sills.

Got some sill work to do now after driving with poor adjusted headlights and going over a speedbump, just mettal to concrete.  :cry:

Where all my moneys went.
