I have done the same a few times now especially with these low profile jacks as they don't move Properly when the car is going up. I only use a jack if the wheels have to come off otherwise it goes up the ramps.
i sold my two poster ramp or this woudl havento happened :)
You should see what the previous owner did to my Saxo.. lol :eek:

Eh How come chief?????:cry:
Before you get the hammer out push down on it with your foot, i did the exact same thing the other day pushed on it and it pretty much popped back, worth a try!!

Gutting i hope you get it sorted fella
Well i started to sort the inside of the car today as it was looking scruffy, I decided to fix the floor with a hammer and a block of wood was awsome :) took the stress of the day out on it, three hits and it went back into shape! :) Just need to tack weld it back on tommorrow :) it looks pretty ok,
