Post Gounding my new car

I have ordered my UK spec C2 due July but am worried that when I pull it off the road into my drive I might damage the underside of the front spoiler. Can anyone tell me the maximum safe angle off the horizontal? No-one else seems to know and no-one wants to let me play with theirs!

Question

Which suspension? I have a boxtser lowered to ROW 030 specs and it is LOW. I can get up most drives (better than vettes, etc) by going careful, slow and at an angle. The 9X6 has a stiff suspension and a short overhang which helps. How steep is your drive?

I had a similar question on the C4S. My driveway inclines and the clearance on my vette is only four inches. So, it does scrap a little on a rubber shroud.

So, I measured a 2000 C4S's lowest point in the front of the car to level gound and got six inches.

Palting measured is car and came up with 5 3/4 inch of clearance.

Hope this helps.
