Splash Plate scrape
« on: 24 March 2013, 17:57 »
Whenever i go over speed bumps my splash plate scrapes. When i just had a look it is quite low down.

A few people have recommended i get coilovers but if i do this will be scraping the floor all the time.

Is this normal?

Rip it off and get a new one or rip it off and use it to mock up your full under tray for your car

Yeah I think it is the splash plate then I have ripped mone off but from.everything I read about under tray splash plates they are worth replacing cause it can.affect the areo under the car hence why I said about a dull under tray problem is making one that allows hear to get out the car is hard but in answer to your question pull it off or unbolt/ unscrew it
