I had no problems with scraping so far and I use the multistorey a lot. The pic below shows exactly where the lower strut brace goes. You can see why they have to remove the protective cover from underneath

(This may of been where my car got wet where it shouldn't have when cleaning the arches, that is if it definately turns out to be my fault in the end)

No but I'm guessing a 50/50 chance (50 because I did get water close to the engine, 50 not because it drove fine for 20 minutes after)

I'm off out now but just a swift one-line update: the boot-mounted 'changer is out, the in-dash changer is in!

Thanks to MintySE for the helping hand 8)

Oh and I'm updating the first post in this topic, knocking bits off the list as I complete them and adding a couple of items here and there :wink:

I've chatted with a couple of people about it but otherwise yeah, kept it quite quiet - obviously once the lights are tinted and fitted I'll post the pics and talk a bit more about it then!
