I had to pass near (not across) a flooded creek on the way just before the real flood came at about 14-20 kmh speed with my 2023 vitara allgrip. On front , water level sometimes came near the height of headlights. Nothing strange happened , no faulty engine sound nor anything.

I drove 3 km more came home than asked myself should I worry for anything. Checked air filter and box all were dry. No trace of high level water on engine bay. On laterals water level seems to reach the upper edge of rocker panels. I restarted the engine after air filter check. All seems ok. Should I worry for anything else.

Hey friends,

My hood is really peeling of and it starts looking ugly. Do you have any ideas what is the cheapest best way to solve it so at least it doesnt look ugly?

Thanks!
