Little lump in passenger wheel arch?

[r8byb]

Anyone else seen this ? its like a lump on the metal and its the only place my car rubs on... Is there any reason its there ?

Thanks

That the only place yours rubs mate ? Ive just sprayed some stuff around the area to see where it's rubbing as i'm baffled and the only place missing the spray is that lump.

I aint running an arch liner on that side and have bent all the brackets up out of the way on both sides and it only scrapes when turning a hard right

And that little lump has'nt got any paint on it now so im guessing it's that

I was thinking it mite have something to do with the battery? :S lol

 

[r8byb]

Mines exactly the same then... thinking about raising it 10mm tbh :| think its the only solution.

warm it cherry red and hammer flat

 

[r8byb]

That is an option also, i'm just worried about what its there for and whats behind it ?

 

[r8byb]

Solution - heat and hit

[franx]

find out what funtion it has before taking a hammer to it ?

 

[Craig]

mine doesnt really rub anymore and its pretty low on the front. whent for a spirited drive before and was fine

Just had to raise mine due to hitting the same thing. I thought it was something to do with a mounting bracket for the wings?

 

[powey]

Does anyone know what is behind the lump? (inside the engine bay)

[Cro]

Bumper bracket iirc

If it doesn't fit, hit it.
And if it doesn't fit then, hit it again.

 

[timmyd]

But if its the bumper bracket and you hit it, wont it break?

 

[James.f]

il check for you today what it is, as il be down in the garage is it on both side's ?

 

[Guppy]

It aint the bumper bracket

Its basically directly under the battery

r8byb didnt have any problems hammering his flat

 

[Dan R]

Mine rubs on the bump a tiny bit too. Ive tried hitting it to get rid of it but christ is bloody hard!!! as for the bumper bracket ive cut it all off completely including all the metal and plastic part. The bumper clips in so well it will never fall out

 

[GodSpeed]

Let the tyre rubb it flat

 

[powey]

yes as Guppy mentioned its not the bumper bracket, its a lump only on the passenger side.

From what I see its underneath the fusebox

 

[Guppy]

Angle grinder FTW!

Then slam it full of silicone sealant or whatever

 

[powey]

Just scared of damaging something in the fusebox lol, would of had a tidy look today but even an Anorak would get soaked through

 

[Guppy]

Get up the garage!

 

[powey]

Thought he was wifeing? Have to wait til after the GP though

 

[Guppy]

Most probs

He will be home for top gear though

I came across this problem ages ago! Still rubs though even after hammering it!
