    So I was driving my F12.
    I am the kind of guy who treats his RARRI very well (taking care on speed bumps, uneven roads... etc)
    I was going maybe arround 60-70 KMPH, and then saw this speed bump, hit the brakes hard to bring it down to arround 25-30 KMPH, then took the bump (brakes free ofcourse) at arround 25-30).
    Didn't hear any scratching down there, but -louder than usual- noise from the impact.
    Asked a few of my friends (Ferraristas), seems normal to them and happened with some of them and it was fine.
    Didn't feel any thing weird or alarming after this, MAYBE the steering wheel A liiiiiiiitle softer that usual (but after all as I mentioned I am a little sensitive when it comes to my car), so might be imagination kicking in:) .
    Any reassuring Ferrari -speed bump- tales, or comments regarding this incident would be highly appreciated.
    THX,,,

    Below is the kind of speed bump I am reffering to:

    I view speed bumps as ramps to fun! The faster you hit them, the more fun you have! ;)

    Try to get one wheel on the bump and one wheel off. That lessens the impact at speed.

    So, I finally got a video.
    What do U think?
    Worse undertrays he saw on F cars (said the mechanic I usually fix my 575 and other older generation cars at)
    A common thing on a an F car under belly?

    As you can see it is at the rear undertray.
    Do you think it would have any impact on aerodynamics?
    Something I should handle immediately?
    Any impact on value if kept as it is?
    BTW I have done arround 3K Miles since new.
    THX on advance,,
