Underbody Damage Photos. Is it okay?
Climbing up some ramp, i actually got the underbody scraped. It was quite a loud bangg to be honest
Don't know if it's going to create some issues to the fuel system or aerodynamic problems?
Haven't measured the deepness of the cut just yet...

From what I can see, the part you hit is the "shield" for the saddle-shaped gas tank. Nothing else nearby seems altered; e.g., the gas lines. I was told by a MINI mechanic that those shields are likely to get damaged on the CM and not to worry about it. The concern would be if the tank inside were also damaged, and you may decide to have the shield removed so you can inspect the tank.

Thanks for all the replies.
What if? Lets say... the worst case, if the cut got to the fuel tank, the tank would crush? or even rip and lead to a fuel leak?
If the tank's crushed a bit, it would be fine right? probably no fuel feed problems? All i know is mine's not cut, since there's no fuel leaking whatsoever. hehe
thanks again
