Parking a noble on the street

[Son of Quatto]

My house has on street parking. Can i park the car on the kerb or will the front splitter be a problem? My road is also a dead end and on a hill so are they easy to reverse?

The front splitter is very low and has a habit of catching you out on uneven surfaces so parking on the kerb is best avoided. Sadly the turning circle is rather limited so making five point turns are a common feature. Reversing in a Noble requires constant use of the mirrors and is a skill that has to be practiced. Just to make matters worse you need lots of room to open your door fully so you can get out.Do not park in tight places. Having told you the facts I've had my GTO3 for 3.5 years and have enjoyed every second of ownership! Every journey is special.Do it.

Ultimately this depends on the size of the curb. Don't forget that you are operating with very low profile tyres and expensive wheels! For improved ground clearance, no front splitter, or the boomerang splitters give more room to play with. The turning circle is model dependent, the M400 has a very good turning circle for a car of this type, much better than the GTO3 I had. I used to park mine on the curb in Barnes in London on occasion and managed not to damage anything, although the reversing part was always a bit of a worry!

I've caught my splitter on kerbs and won't park it on a kerb any more.
BUT - lots of people run their without the splitter and do just fine.
