Just wondered if anyone has a similar problem. My driveway slopes down quite considerably into my garage. Up until now I have kept the car on the drive under a cover but since getting the wrap I have thought it would be nice to be able to use the garage.

Currently the splitter or exhausts ground out as I approach the garage due to the downward slope of the driveway.

Has anyone on here managed to resolve this type of problem with off the shelf or make shift ramps?

I am not looking to spend a lot of money here but it would be nice to get the car into the garage.

Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

Simon,

I have the same problem.

What I use is a couple of scaffolding planks supported by wooden blocks, carefully positioned so that I can drive straight in.

The ramps are about a foot off the ground at the highest point of the "bridge", if that makes sense, so apparently it looks pretty scary from outside the car biglaugh

I'm not too far from you (J18/M25) so mail me if you'd like to pop over.

All the best,

Charles
Thanks Charles, would be good to see how you've done it. That was the kind of thing I was hoping for but wasn't sure if scafolding planks would be upto the job.

I can't get my GT2 on to my drive with the splitter attached, the car looks infinitely better with the splitter on so I've done the sensible thing and sold the house and bought one with a bigger garage and flat drive.

Thanks....that sounds like a quick fix...will look into it wink
