Keep scraping the damn thing. Anyone got any interesting methods of protection ? I suppose some stone chip paint as per use on wheel arches might help. Off topic ; just got back from a drive. Tam + Roof off + Cold Spring evening at 10.30 pm = cloud9

Well i've only had it a couple of months, but i have the same problem, eventually i'll upgrade the shocks an get the geo re-set, but for now it's a tin of Hammerite! And yes what a car, roof off, warm jacket/stupid hat, nothing better.

When you get the geo done or new shocks, get them to raise the front a little. Had new shocks last year and I reckon 75% or so of the places it used to scrape are now OK so long as you don't fly over the humps!

I had this on my T350, eventually ended up getting the ride height raised a bit and it's not done it since.

I have found the same problem. It's particularly frustrating with hidden dips in the road.

I always try to put one wheel up first for speed bumps/driveways etc but best long term solution as suggested is to upgrade the suspension and raise the ride height.

Cheers for the thoughts chaps. smile I think perhaps I'll try some protective paint as you put on the wheel arches. After all it can be re-applied as often as you like. I'd rather not mess with the geo is it handles just perfectly.
