I scape my driveway with those black flaps every time I exit. And the airdams cop a bashing too, in carparks etc... But they are cheap to replace so not too concerned.

my scrapage is not as bad thank god. :D just impatient u-turns into driveways, whilst not paying attention to the dip is my excuse. Blame it on Sydney impatience. :D

Ha, I'm sorta glad I've only scraped the deflector things. No airdams, of course... yet...

Man I hate the sound when those plastic things infront of the front wheels scrape, but i suppose better those that the bottom of the front bumper...

I suspect it isn't lowering or our extended front bumper. It's the bloody stupid way roads are laid. Who puts a 500mm drop over say 300mm? Surely they know not everyone drives a SUV!!

Stop the car before the bollard, solved. It's actually quite easy if there's something big like an SUV or mini-van in the adjacent spot. :)

Mine clears bollards fine... it's other objects like driveways, gutters etc that have done my damage. Like I said before, not really concerned that much as they are cheap to replace and you can't see the damage anyway.

The Lancer sits quite high in stock yet I find it scrapes quite easily. I suspect the front has a longer overhang than most cars meaning a lower approach angle. Oh wells.
