waller11 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Mine scrapes on the two square tube thingys that run down the car, unsure what they do or are but its ripping it apart haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 does anyone know what is scraping?Have a good look under the car, you'll be able to see what's scraping as it will have road rash. What sort of speed bumps are we talking here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ministig Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm guessing the heat shield or the cat.Pretty sure they hang the lowest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashh Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 It'll most likely be your cat guard... Then your subframe as said, jack it up and look for te rust parts!And how to stop it scraping? Raise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabbles21 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 lower it more then you just know 100% of your car is scraping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam R4 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 lower it more then you just know 100% of your car is scraping.True!!On mine I get cat guard, sub frame, anti roll bar, exhaust mount, exhaust flexi, chassis legs. Normally only get cat guard when it's driving just normally along a flatish smoothish road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabbles21 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 at the end of the day none of it matters, the sump sits higher than the subframe, arb, cat guard etc. anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fob163 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 oh it only does it on the odd speedbump, just awkward ones like the entrance to mcdonalds/tescos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper_GTI Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 My front bumper gets the brunt of it. Although the GTI has a lip on the bottom of the bumper that is asking to be rubbed away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordantough Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 If its the long thin ones there no way to avoid, been trying for ages, just find another route lol if it's the island style bumps just go through the middle or hit on the edge slowly, I'm lowered 120mm on front and I can just get over the island ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 No, I'm not confused, was just asking to see pics of what sounds like a low Lupo. And yes I've seen how low yours is on tiny wheels...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
