F***ing driveway.....
Parked up on the mother in laws driveway today for the first time, and when I reversed back off it, it caught the front splitter 
Not happy as you can imagine. I was halfway between driving back up it, or carrying on... Hmm rock and a hard place?!

Scrapping was the norm in my 206, had a ground clearance of 3cm at the bumper, useless at the best of times
Gutted for you though mate, if you fancy selling the splitter though, fell free to PM me

Mine didn't break as bad as that but I repaired mine only last night with fibreglass.......not absolutely perfect obviously but if you didn't know you wouldn't see it.....saved me taking it off seen as i can't afford another one right now

Know the problem, i have a little route that I've worked out that involves me using the ramped/sloped part of the pavement and then turning on full lock when the front wheels make contact with the road, that gives me the nano-millimetre I need to avoid scraping my front splitter, reversing back on I go real slow. An effort I know!

Have my own blob in the paintshop this week getting the very same thing fixed....i fitted a chargespeed type splitter last year and broke it after one week lol....told the body man to not be too fussy when fixing it as it will most probably happen again!!
The joys of lowered cars i suppose.
