Default Watch out for high snow/ice when backing up!

I was in a hurry, so I didn't clear all the snow off the driveway.. It was below the rear bumper, so I thought I was OK.

Not OK.

There are flaps under the car which look like they divert air under the mufflers and gas tank. I have one less of those now.

It seems to have broken off where it attaches to the plastic body pan. Looks like I'll have to replace the whole pan :/

I'll post pictures later.

Default too bad - that hurts - hard lesson to learn. I have been driving the A4 so far

with our snow - because I did not want to hurt the RS.

But my daughter gets back from school Saturday so I will be forced to use the RS.
