Front bumper/Oil Sump protection?

Post by BenTheWombRaider »

Right well the inevitable has happened, I am winding down the coilovers a little bit more. I am already quite low (45mm drop at the front, 65mm at the back) and the plan is to be 10mm lower all round which although already seems quite substantial, i like being low haha!

So I was wondering: Is there a product out there to protect scuffing the front of your bumper, on the very bottom edge as it goes under? Nothing stupidly expensive, but maybe an adhesive material that can be used? I was looking at getting a rubber adhesive splitter if I get desperate.

Also is there any way of protecting your oil sump? After extensive googling, I cannot find anything for the roc...any makeshift ideas you guys may have?

Ye stop being silly and leave it practical, it may look good low and slammed on its arse but you look silly crawling over a speed bump a 1 mph.

Thank you Mr Taylor127 for your pointless opinion which does nothing to help me with my original questions.

Its quite obvious im not bothered by that and atleast im trying to make it more practical by protecting some components than just slamming it on its arse. Some people like and admire lowered cars.
