Unhappy 2008 Audi A4 2.0- Undercarriage Guard

I never really realized that these cars ride so low. Anyway, I must have been driving on the most neglected street ever, and scraped the bottom of my car. I just got it and it is making the most God foresaken sound. When I looked at the bottom, the undercarriage guard is scraping the ground and it looks like there are some wires from the guard. Can I just replace this part? If so, where can I get the part?

Sounds like parking too close to those parking curbs. They get snagged when pulling back out. As long as its not too ripped up you van probably put it back up with some new plastic connectors that probably popped off. Id look into that before wasting much money.

that skid plate comes in handy. i drove over a tall curb that perimiters a parking lot to get across a sidewalk and onto a road. the curb scraped the undercarriage. nothing came loose and i didn't hear any news from the dealership after so many maintenance checks. i'd do what Kris said.
