So i know why this has happened and its been an accident waiting to happen, because the back of my car is lowered by around 80mm, when i have a full car it rubs terribly, so on a journey last night i hit a small bump and heard a nice crunch. I then found my bumper had torn off one side and my arch lining was hanging out, I just took my arch lining out and found that it had been burnt from all the rubbing, Check the pics...
PS. Alloys were ruined when i got them on the car....

Nasty! Lucky you didn't have a blow out as it looks lik you have a couple of nice deep grooves in your tyre from it rubbing so much.
