Well not a good start to the morning. The so called good Rep Garage damaged my car. First 5 miles of my drive today I could hear a bad rubbing noise so thought I would nail it on the head straight away and take it back for adjustment. Got there at 7.30AM and got the car on the ramp (Good guys I thought) 10 mins later they said the could find nothing wrong and no rubbing. At this point I was a bit suspect as I also had no sound from my Stereo since they did they work yesterday and this noise was noy not normal. Drove off down the road and BANG! I knew exactly what it was as I have had this on my Evos, so pulled over, checked the undercarriage and it's completely smashed to pieces on one corner hence the noise. This was one mile from there garage. I went f**king nuts and the guy was so nervous on the phone I think he s**t himself. They obviously hit the courner at some point and hoped I would not notice. They would of clearly spotted this on the ramp, it's that bad.
So now I am stuck waiting for the car to be towed back ( Car can't be driven) so they can fix it foc.
If I have known I would of fitted them myself, just couldn't be arsed at the time
I hope they are also going to repair the damaged supports on the bumper that holds the undertray which have also snapped off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have soooooooo much work to do today and I'm going to be stuck at garrage/home untill they f**king fix it

They must of grounded the car at some point whilst doing the work. This cracked the plastic under carrage at the front and it was rubbing against the wheel (hence the noise) than it gave way wrapping one side of the undertray + the arch liner around the wheel. Also the plastic lugs in the bumper which you attach the undertray have also ripped off and can't be repaired.

You mean "hope you get it sorted mate"? Does look really good but i do too hope you get everything sorted.
No, it means you need to be carefull with high curbs when you park. I checked the clearence yesterday with regards to speed bumps and it's fine.
f**ked if I know
The Owners wife drove it to a alignment shop which took 2hrs so could of been done there. All I know is that I'm a fanatic when it comes to my cars over any squeaks, bumps etc and if it was me that caused the damage, I would know about it.lol that's almost as awesome as that time you replied with congratulations to a marriage thread, only to realise the thread had been bumped with a divorce update.
Bad news fella. This is why I personally think lowering road cars sucks

Aye is a massive negative for someone who is not used to a car this low, but I have been driving them setup like this for years.
Just a real pain in the Ass when it goes wrong and it's not your fault :dead:
^^^ Yep not everyones taste but works well for me ^^^
Well just picked up the car, now running no under tray. Needed 2 new control arms, Geo, new under carrage, & front bumper painted.
Got the car back now which is the main thing and they will do the rest next week when the car goes in for it's Anti roll bar kit.

Accepted full responsibility then ?
Yes.
Maybe. Aslong as it's good as new after I take her in next week I don't care. Just want to get on and keep modding
not being held back due to someone else errors I have no idea and I don't want to know
Because the control arm bushes are only supposed to be tensioned up when the car is in its static position, if you lower any bmw with the twin control arm set up (or essentially any car with rubber arm/wishbone bushes) you are supposed to untorque the bush bolts then retorque after the car is lowered so that the bushes are not under tension when the car sits down lower than it was previously, obviously its static posistion is by the looks of things approx 2" lower than previously so the bushes would have been under tension even with the car unloaded..
