Hi,
I have just brought a W205 C220 AMG Line and being driving for several weeks now. On speed humps (in 30 mph area), going on 25mph without pressing the brake, I seem to hear the front bumper being scratched. This always spoils the driving experience. I am not too worried about the scratches but worried that when the bumper hits the ground at speed that it will damage the internal structural frame such as the safety reinforcement (i.e crash bar etc.) or bent some kind of metal. The same worries occur when parking a car straight or reverse parking into parallel parking and into /over high curb.
Do car manufactures such as MB have protection for their saloon or cars to prevent structural damage when the front/rear bumper hits the ground/ hump/ side of the curb / going over the curb?
Apologies this is long but it is my first saloon car, thanks in advance.
