I already knew, checked, the lowest point on the car which scrapes cambers or speed bumps are the seat bolts. i.e. no real harm done, they can be sacrificial and replaced as and when.
These were getting up to the line though - worst on the drivers side where the inside rear nut was down to two threads and 4mm of its former 11mm self. Lasted 18.4k miles though so no complaints.
I'll replace the lot, probably use slightly larger washers on the inside too - some 50mm plate washers to help spread the seat load.
Interesting dent/notch in the leading edge of the passenger side footwell - that must have been a rock/other immovable object. Thank you for steel floors GBS!
I gave it another coat of under-seal while I was there.
No issues inside - just a collection of road detritus.
Update - seats re-installed
