Hit a bump - any potential issues? (Pic incl.)
 
Hey everyone - wondering if I could get some insight from the amazing community here...

Was a bit hasty backing out of my driveway today and the wheel went over the far left of my drive way as I was turning to merge my tail end with the road (the driveway edge starts to become elevated to merge with height of curb). The resulting drop caused a thud to my main front under panel (scrapes in middle of pic) and smacked the white towing hook (?), pictured far right.

I checked the corresponding position of the under panel through the engine bay and saw that there was nothing on the immediate other side (phew). However, I can't tell how the hook is secured to the body, perhaps it's part of the main frame. I'm worried that it might have caused some damage that I can't see as I feel that the hook may have taken the lion's share of the damage as it seems to protrude further than the panel, therefore hitting the curb first.

And I just passed the 1 week mark :( ah well.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like you just hit the bottom tow hook and the plate. Doesn't look like any issues to me.

Yeah, that's exactly what I did. Just looking to make sure that banging the tow hook hard in the upward direction wouldn't do much damage as I can't see/have no idea how this is attached to the body. Thanks!

I think you'll be fine. At least the scratches on the undercarriage won't be visible. :)

no worries

Doesn't look dented, so I doubt anything mechanical felt the impact. Should be fine.

Wow, your car is totally totaled. But I can take it off your hands with only a small towing fee.

Your fine.. I'm sure it sounded worse than it actually was..

zaptorque 07-29-2013 11:35 AM

I'm lowered a lot and scrape/bang those two things on a daily basis, probably much harder than you. :P

You'll be okay :)
