I had to change a punctured tyre.

Place the jack at the soft spot of the car, without knowing that should not be the spot to place the jack. Thus, the weight of the car broke through that area which I placed the jack. It resulted in a bump in the flooring of the passenger side.

What are the implications for that damage and not repairing it?

I think the water will enter when it rains and that will be the first spot to rust.

where can I send it to repair it? Is it possible to repair at all?

need some advise.

Thanks a lot...

ps: the tyre was finally changed at the expense of that hole that I've created undercarriage... :)

well...if you want a mor specific answer you'll need to post a pic from above and below to understand the damage and how to fix it.

odds are a panel beater will be able to flatten it out/ weld it up. as long as you can handle their hidden giggles

lol I had a guy at the tyre shop nearly do that @_@ though it can be hard to find a decent place to jack in the absence of specific jacking points (I usually either do where the seams of the chassis rails overlap at the front or at the diff) Have seen that kinda damage done and its repairable.

    • haha funny enough I did ask him wtf he had been up to with the electrics....but no answer
    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
