Default Standard Oil or transmission cooler XKR

I noticed an extra small radiator on the front of my 2004 XKR then remembered something hit botom when backing out of the driveway the other day. My xk8 did not have that. Do the XKR have a standard extra oil or transmission cooler like this?
Thank you.

one must take care when parking. Don’t make it a practice of pulling forward until the tires hit the curb. Most curbs can clear the car, but some won’t.

It doesn’t take that much practice to get it right every time

I think folks have figured out a remount - if you search threads here. I usually use a Google search with right key words, then, see what comes up,,, then, click the little tab that says, "show more results" or some such other.

If you get under the front of the car, no jacks or nothing, just to look, you'll be able to see how it's mounted and what's possible... ALSO, as suggested, get used to a car that rides as low (and other characteristics) just takes a bit O time

Thank you. My Corvettes were lower and had an air scoop down there, but this oil cooler down there is asinine. Hopefully I can get under today and make the bracket change discussed. Thanks
