ermm yeah, only way i'd get down from there is taking the wheels off and winding the coilies up

and 20minutes later i would be down that slope lol

Alex when are we getting some decent pictures of your car?

You just have to grin and bear it really, when you're scraping or rubbing; it's the price you pay to have a lowered car. Anyway; that's what the splitter is for; mine has gashes and battle scars all over it.

The one thing i hate is when you naturally tense your sphincter when you know you're gonna rub

Craig I have that problem every single day cos I park in a multistorey... my splitter is gashed to hell underneath and I'll be damned if im replacing it for use on Irish roads!!

I was wondering what it would be like in them. Nt gd !! Does the bumper nt break?

Tetsuo_83 · Post by **Tetsuo_83** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 12:14 am

Naw... but if i go down the ramps too fast the splitter ALWAYS catches and pulls out about half way, so im stuck there like a t**t trying to push the thing back in after ive parked it! Thank god for that splitter. The bottom of the bumper would be a state without it!!
