Default Problem with Ford Bodykit

Hey guys.... just letting you know. My local dealer has a Silver Zetec with the bodykit for sale.... its late 03 model complied in 04.... but only done 10000km.

Now, the back part of the Bodykit has begun to melt under the car. I noticed that the bodykit is lower and then goes back a little more then the bumper, causing the exhaust to be straight above it. You might want to consider making a hole?

Happened on my EF when they cut the exhaust tip off to fit the bodykit on. I went two days with the exhaust curled up behind the bumper like a fiesta and it melted it.

Dunno.... the fit and finish on the car i saw was A+.... so i think it might just be a design fault. You couldnt see it standing behind the car.... you had to look under it!
