Every now and then I misjudge the length of that long nose just enough to scrape the underside on a parking divider or curb (when head in parking). There's been no major damage, but that horrible grinding noise means I've ground a little layer of plastic off the lower front edge of the nose.

I am wondering what sort of clever solutions have been devised to keep the lower edge of the nose intact. A chin spoiler would just make the problem worse (It would probably break off if I tapped it on a curb). And besides I think they are ugly, and the aerodynamics seems to be great just as is.

Help this newby ... 4000 trouble free delightful mis.

Of cpurse, a better solution is to just park far back from the parking dividers. The car is so short that you can be pretty far away from the parking divider, and still be deep enough into the parking space.

 

I try to back in to parking spots that I'm not comfortable with, for some reason it's much easier to judge where the curb is, and you can always just throw your door open and look!

 

Said this before and I'll say it again......back in.

 

Yep, scrape the paint off the bottom of your mufflers.
