Scraping front end?

SVR and doing 12k miles a year - well done sir - excellent economy on the smiles front!

I have a F-Type 400 Sport and a Mercedes A-Class and the Jag has far better ground clearance, I’ve never once scraped it getting onto my drive or in multi-storey car parks - not that I take it in many!

Never touched mine down other than the sacrificial lower diffuser in 2 years and been up tracks, ramps and all sorts
Having recently read this thread I entered a multi storey park this afternoon. Dead slow as I turned and started the ramp. Too slow, as once on the ramp, nicely polished and wet I had wheel spin and a metre of slithering as the LSD sorted it out.

Sure the guy following me had words for my driving skill level

The only time I scraped mine was when I went a bit too fast over a traffic hump, take it slow and there's a lot of clearance!

Too right @Lunar - and smiles have to count for something! And my wife does 20K in a 3l V6 D F-Pace - so, in sort, we did not attend the demos on Waterloo bridge

I wish I could have some consistency with t he places I visit. This Sunday at a breakfast run (see separate post) I was able to get up the restaurant parking and when I tried to exit, it was so steep for the front that it scraped the road, I had to reverse twice and could only exit with the help and guidance from some kind patrons who had to watch the front and direct me out.

I don't get that. I'd have thought that the speed (within reason and before aerodynamics add downforce) is not an issue for the front strip

Braking, on the other hand, is. Going over a hump with the front brakes applied and losing speed will cause the front of the car to dip....

I always get my braking done before reaching a speed bump

It is on the way down the other side. Too fast up makes the nose point down more on the downside, hence the scrape. Personal experience.
