Hello all my first post, I'm thinking of getting A F-Type but I'm a bit concerned that when i drive the car onto our drive it will catch the bottom of the front bumper all the time. I have a Audi S5 Cab at the moment an the stats say the ground clearance is 4 inches while the Jag is 5 inches but the Jag's front lip looks further away from the front wheels so stays low longer. Any of you have any experience with this type of problem? PS could someone measure the distance i have marked on the picture so i could compare it with the Audi ? Thanks in advance

It's the lower black air deflector/air dam that will scrape first, best to get a measurement to that.

Great to see our photos turning up everywhere! The F-Type is very good for this, and doesn't nudge speed bumps in the same way as some German products, for example. The lowest, vertical, air dam, is quite soft and while not quite sacrificial, takes a good bit of punishment.

My immediate thought though is, why do your drive forwards onto your drive? Unless you have a turning T or circle, you should be reversing onto the drive, not reversing off it... The clearance is generally much better going backwards.
