Gravel

Post by anthonyyule » Thu Mar 08, 2007 10:13 am

Can anyone tell me if its normal for gravel/ stones/ grit to find there way into the underneath of the car (presumably the difusser).

Out last night in the exige for a country blast, and you can hear plenty of stones hitting the underside of the car. But then on turn in, or rounding bends you can hear the stones rolling about at the back of the car.

Presumably they will find their way out again?!

Yes, in a very noisy and untimely fashion. Ask Ed about following Shug after he spend 5 mins doing donuts in a gravel carpark! (Well, more of a rockery!) :roll: :shock: :lol:

yup - most normal - worry not. Take care when taking the undertray off as you'll get a gravel shower :)

Rubbish, just go round some corners quickly. The tailgating BMW will soon back off....
