Hi all,
I have recently took delivery of my 12C in January this year, the car has been more than an awesome experience. I live in a city state and the car has to negotiate a lot of humps. The car has no problem going over most irregular road surfaces but it would often scrape lightly over those narrow and high humps. So I sent it to the dealer and they raised up and pointed to a pair of aerodynamic plastic part that is about 40mm in height mounted to the underside of the chassis tub towards the front and another pair in the rear. Only the front pair is scrapping the humps. I tried to circumvent the issue by setting the chassis settings from 'Sport' to 'Track' mode to stiffen up the suspension but it still scraped occasionally but thankgoodness the part is not damaged as seen from the picture I took of my car. I heard that many owners have provided feedback about theirs being damaged and cracked and several had the front pair removed altogether.
Can anyone explain the aerodynamic benefits of this particular part?
Will it make a huge difference if it is removed?
Thanks in advance.
