Cant get restored car into my Garage!
Discussion
Hi guys, really hoping for some wisdom as I'm almost crying!
I've spent over two years restoring this old Porsche, including fitting a custom, super-low front bumper and air splitter literally only 2 inches off the ground. See pictures.
Having now at long last returned the car to my home garage we simply can't get the car in…. as it scrapes so badly on the front bumper.
I've also attached pictures of the driveway from different perspectives.
You will note we have a double roller door and also a large external drain across the full driveway
I used to have smaller problems with my previous car (not as low as this one!) and managed to roughly solve this by using two wooden planks approximately 2 yards long, but they will not suffice this time by a long way.
We thought of building some permanent steel/wooden ramps up and down at the entry point at the bottom of the driveway, but that will cause an issue with the garage roller door coming down, so I'm really at a loss!
Many thanks for any wisdom in advance
Cheers

I'm sure there must be an aftermarket front strut with airbags to lift the front axle.
Once fitted you'll have a button inside the car to lift the front of car a few inches for exactly such parking/ speed bump issues. I'd expect someone like Techart or FVD to do one.
Many thanks - I looked into some gas front lifting options.....yes, but HUGE dollarsOnce fitted you'll have a button inside the car to lift the front of car a few inches for exactly such parking/ speed bump issues. I'd expect someone like Techart or FVD to do one.
