My splitter comes off every night and I reverse up the smallest ramp. Put a gti splitter on for now  :undecided:

Low enough to have fun getting off the old mans driveway...



Trust me when I say the photo makes the incline look much more severe.  I have to reverse on otherwise it just wrecks the splitter...

And yet when it snows I can STILL get on and off and that bloody 7 series of dads parked next to it can't  :grin:

id be scraping there my splitter is near enough that low on flat road. look closely in my sig pic. im on 15" with 45 profile tyres

I intend to take mine a bit lower, might have lined up a set of coilovers for it so we will see.  Currently running 15s with 50 profile, thinking 45 profile next tyre change.

I have to drive across the grass at work to get in the car park (when no-one is looking  :rolleyes:) as they have put in a ridiculous speed bump that I completely ground out on.  So god help me if I do go lower and I get to work the same time as the M.D one day  :laugh:

And Junior - Tweed is right, there definitely needs to be some form of thread for yours!
