Tonight when i was driving, went into this big curve at some parking, i forgot to go on the side and the front just went bom on the ground and stuck, by the time i got the car out of that, the skirt is full scratch and rip out at the middle. But its been snapped back on now.

Anyone with the 07 hatch had the same problem, ? lucky its the plastic part on the front skirt

Also, is that replaceable??

The exact same thing has happened to me twice, I am really considering not to lower my rolla because of this. I have previously lowered my Yaris and never have I had any problems relating to this.

I am kinda lucky not to have damaged my front skirt to a point where physical damage can be seen, however I think you can buy the part that you mentioned that snapped off. Im not sure but I think your best bet would be Toyota.

To all the 9th gen corolla owners, have you experienced anything similar to this and have you decided to lower your car car regardless? (Sorry for stealing the thread :spiteful:)

I wouldn't see why any part of the car would not be replaceable...

What i actually mean is, only that lower black plastic part from the front bumper because thats the only part scratch from those aweful roads

not the whole bumper has to be replaced

Yeah it is replaceable. Go to a Toyota dealer's part's department and ask them, they'll have it (if not they will order it in for you, should be avail. next day). Any part on a car is replaceable even the headlight socket cover on the back was available as a separate part.

I'd guessing each side is around 36 bucks (since it's two pieces?).

I've scratched mine too. Have't replaced it yet. It will cost about $75 from toyota and just screws on with about 3 or 4 screws. Shouldn't be too hard. :toast:

I dont even know if it needs screws. It just seems to snapped on to the bumper.

I'll leave it there for now. Just as long as that plastic part is replaceable. I feel better. lol

I dont know if its the car's design. The height is not low at all but still it is very easy to scratch that skirt part.

It is indeed. My one was went all wonkers after I lowered the car. It's never going to stay in its original shape I reckon.

      Sad day

      Hi all just signed up, I have a Toyota 2011 Orion, yep the dreaded oil cooler lines, a hose blew, I had pulled up to a 99degree turn all was well , then 30 mtr up the road sounded like a truck was next to me then noticed it was my car rattling it’s ***** off, being not even 10mtr from my drive way I idled it into the drive way and oil was everywhere, i placed oil in the car as it read empty on the oil stick , had my partner start the car and wow it was pumping strait out of the hose it had a hole in it ,I turned it off strait away, and researched it, so disappointed I have owned Toyotas all my life and owned this pride and joy for allmost 3years iam second owner with around 212000 on the clock, I am replacing it with the upgraded lines but am know afraid it’s done some serious damage, as idle sounds fine but not game to give it a rev till it’s all fixed, I don’t understand, it states if leaking to return to Toyota, I had no leaks the hose blew a hole, the recall also says extended warranty and has no date or km, for the oil hoses , Am I say up **** creek with out a paddle ?? I will check log books to see when last serviced from Toyota and when recall was made. ??????

      REMOTE KEY FOB FOR AURION 2009

      Hi, thanks for your reply. I'll also try taking the key off the ring. After all, I've tried everything else from using extreme profanities, kicking and crying. What do I have left to lose? Ha ha 🤬🤣

      REMOTE KEY FOB FOR AURION 2009

      Hi Helen1234 I went the cheap option also from Ebay for my 2010 Hilux. It took multiple attempts to get mine to work but after the 4th or 5th time it did exactly what was supposed to happen. The instructions need to be followed perfectly and if you dont the fob will not learn the system. I was personally having the issue where the car thought I took the key out of the ignition because the key barrel is worn. I had to take my key off my key ring because the weight from my house key, canopy key and bottle opener where weighing down on the key when it was in the key barrel. Good luck, hope you get it to work

      Backlash clunk when slightly on and off accelerator

      Hi all, I'm new to the forum and hoping the brains trust here may be able to help, maybe even seen the issue before. I have a 2010 Hilux KUN26 193k on the clock. I have been searching for a possible cause of a clunk which has developed which sounds and feels like backlash. It seems to be coming from towards the front of the vehicle. While the vehicle is idling along in lets say first gear and if I was to ever so slightly touch the accelerator pedal I get a clunk sound like something is engaging and then let my foot off again it happens again but like its disengaging it can felt through the car. I have had it up on a hoist and checked all the engine and gearbox mounts which all seem fine. The tailshaft and uni joints all seem fine also. The clunk happens in all gears but once cruising in any gear you wouldnt think there was an issue. Originally I was leaning towards a clutch issue but only because I was noticing it while changing gears but with further investigation I have noticed it happens without touching the the clutch pedal and just on and off accelerator. I have a throttle controller on the vehicle and thought this may be the issue so I unplugged it and nothing changed. Im hoping someone has seen this before and can point me in the right direction.

      project 2007 camry grande

      The wreckers don't want to sell the centre caps , they only want to sell complete wheel sets. Toyota dealers can supply them new in a packet , but don't know if there is one in a packet or four.

      VSC light flashing when using DAC

      Hey Mate, Im no professional so dont quote me on this, but I think that's normal. They flash when you break traction and the DAC kicks in. If it's constantly flashing at you even when you're not breaking traction, you might have a problem. But it's the same thing with traction control on newer cars. It flashes at you when the traction control is activated and you are sliding or drifting, or whatever.
