Front End Scraping
 
Gents, Recently took delivery of a 2016 Vanquish and learned, much to my chagrin, that my driveway is a bit steep for the bottom front lip. As a result, a bit of scraping occurs when I back out of the driveway. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same and if there might be a fix? Many thanks for your thoughts....

Seen a bunch of these around town here. They seem to work quite well.

Mine does it when I back out..... I just live with it and twice a year I remove the spoiler and repair it
I'm concerned that augmenting the curb will make my home look second hand

Talk to the city/county they might let you alter the driveway at your expense, or do it anyway and plead ignorance and plead for forgiveness .:D

That's awesome!

Really expensive though. The amount of materials and labor is probably $10. The mold tools were probably expensive though.

Mine scrapes also
 
I find that my car scrapes when I cross the curb head in. If I back into the driveway it doesn't scrape. BTW, love your screen pic. Go Faber!

I was being a wise guy. To be a little more helpful,I discovered that lowered Porsche's have so much overhang they scrape alot if you're not careful. I learned to be very careful with mine. I've always found that if I can approach and leave the curb at an angle and then straighten out once past the threshold, I avoid scraping. I also make sure the front of my cars have dispensable plastic chin guards.
