Wondering if anybody can provide any suggestions...
At my house we have a drive, however the pavement to get onto the drive is pretty steep and angles downwards towards the road fairly excessively. For my Clio Sport I have to reverse on and drive off forwards to avoid the front splitter catching on the floor, and I do usually get a bit of a scuff off the exhaust now and again, even when reversing on.
It's become more of a problem now my partner has bought her '98 Mini Cooper, as the exhaust and front number plate on these are seriously low and we can't actually get it on the drive! The exhaust pipe scrapes everytime, whether she reverses on on drives on forwards.
Bit of a long shot but any suggestions as to what adaptions I can make to the drive, aside from getting a big job like contacting the Council to get permission to re-sculpt the pavement and that? Was thinking something like kerb ramps or something, but I wouldn't have a clue where to look!
Heres a rough diagram showing what I mean - Please note the arrow "catches here" also applied to about halfway on the red line too.
