Hello all, I am a newbie to pandas. Just got my secondhand one less than a month ago and I really love it. It's a 1.2 dynamic lemon yellow and has just over 82k km on it. Today I had to drive around a piece of road which had sunk and had to get the two wheels on the driver side outside in the muddy bank. The problem was that the edge of the road was too high and when I tried to get on back the first three time I scraped the bottom. The sound was quite awful and it got me worried. In the end I got stuck in the mud but got some branches in front for traction and height and got in back on the road. On first inspection I didn't see anything wrong with it but it was already getting dark. I drove another 60 km afterwards and listened for noises or anything unusual but I couldn't hear anything. Finally when I got back I noticed that the plastic cover on the front left wheel that was in the mud had been squeezed inside the metal rim of the wheel and bent out of shape. I squeezed it back out and checked the metal for deformations but didn't notice anything... I will have it checked just in case but I wanted to ask you guys what could I be expecting worst case scenario?

Thanks a lot :confused:
 
:) cheers, I really hope so. I will clean it tomorrow and get some photos of the beast. Will try to get a shot under there as well
