Speed bumps and splitters

Any advice for those dreaded speed bumps,
I hate scraping my front splitter on my P1, a major irritation.
Has anyone actually raised their motor to stop this happening!
Regards

Raised mine on BC coilovers. It looks bl00dy stupid mind but it's not just speed bumps, we have pot holes that you could park the whole car in.

Keep scraping mine at both the Shell garages I need to use, Does my head in because I have no choice to use them. Not like some of the high speed humps around my area that i avoid as I know it will scrape!!!

since I had Ohlins fitted and the car lowered I haven't had any issues, the car seems to be more level. The old springs where lower at the front than the rear making the car point down.
