Do you mean the under tray or the sump? There's quite a bit of gap between them. Mine quite often rubs the tray on uneven or bumpy roads but I've had not sump scraping issues yet. I think the sub frame is lower than the sump too

It's the bit that curves under the car, it sits the furthest to the floor on mine, it is covered with a hard plastic?

 

[FR_MATT]

That bit is the under tray and is just hard plastic lol

 

[phillpotts92]

Haha yep that bit makes my car go Ching Ching Ching Ching on every cats eye lmao

It's defo not just hard plastic, there's something under it lol

 

[cupra.al]

Sitting under the undertray, it's rock hard if you feel it.

At the back its the sub frame. In the middle there's plastic cubes on the other side of the plastic that you will be pressing against the sump. Cubes are about 30mm high and they would squish before your sump got damaged

Oh right makes sense then, so in picture 1 the lowest point, is that the sump as I worried about going over speed bumps and smashing that against somthing.

 

[phillpotts92]

No pic one is the undertray which protects the sump. You can have a sheet metal one made like a belly pan if you are that worried?

 

[FR_MATT]

You can just about make out the sump in the second picture, right next to the wheel, under the wishbone

How you finding the front coilovers and the sump, I've got 10 threads left on my fronts but the sump is sitting so low, so gnna have to raise it

shallow sump, or just get engine raisers.

 

[FR_MATT]

Not really any point as the sub frame is an inch or so lower. You'd probably need a chassis notch with engine raisers too

 

[Phil_JJ]

At least you'd straighten the driveshafts out a bit if you were to raise the engine.

 

[samussamus1]

dw, your gearbox and subframe hits the floor before the sump, learnt that the hard way!
