I picked up my MC yesterday from a local workshop after fitting Eibach springs. I found out this morning that the right rear tyre rubs the little plastic thing under the rear guard (attach to the rear arch). So I decided to take it off. I havent test driven the car yet, so I dont know whether this solve the problem.

My question is, what's this little plastic thing for?

My second question is, my runflat warning light is flashing although my tyres are fine. From my understanding, because my MC is lowered, the computer thinks that the tyres are flat. Can anyone justify this? How do I reset the runflat setting?

Resetting the tyre pressure warning lights is in the handbook. 1st, check all the pressures (or it'll warn you when the're right not wrong) and press and hold the button under handbrake.
