Ive got a cinquecento sporting thats been lowered 40mm on spax springs and ive had this done for a couple of years i was just wondering if anyone could let me know whenever i go over a high bump it bangs and scraps real bad in the middle of the car and this has happened quite a few times. I was wondering if anyone could let me know what it is exactly thats hitting the bumps.

THANKS

It looks like a big solid lump of square metal as if it was the floor of the car i was just wondering if it did hit it alot what damage would it do.
Thank you for the quick reply.

Thanks for that i know theres a knack for going over the bumps but it even hits a little bit of metal that the bolts of the gates go into. do you know how much it would cost to get it sealed in the summer.

do it yourself ;) not a lot if you pay a garage as its just a case of whacking it up on the ramps and slapping it on.

I get this a lot and I'm not even 40mm down, peeps forget that there is a lot of stuff that hangs below the bottom of the body on the Cinqs.

Take the bumps real slow and if you get beeped just give them the finger!
