Carpark for Lowered Cars in Dublin City?

theprofessor · 12-02-2008 12:12pm #1

So I'd say you lads in the modified section have the most experience in this field.

Does anyone know of any car parks in the city centre that are friendly enough to lowered cars? My current car is a bit on the low side and most of the multi-story carparks in town would certainly produce comical 'top gear' moments (ie: the carpark in Paris).

If you have a lowered car, where do you park it when you bring it into town?

Could you not put polyurethane wear strips under the sills of these cars similar to what we used to put on the base of scateboards to stop any floor damage

Did you give the jervis a try ?

polyurethane strips are all well and good but there reaches a point where the angle of the incline doesn't just scrape the bottom of the car but actually puts big pressure on the bodywork/chassis, etc.

I have been in the jervis before but not in my car. I struggling to remember the inside. I think the entrance and exit is a nice gradual slope but am I right in saying that once you get in the slopes from level to level are a little steep?

I was in the jervis in my old corsa, 70mm all around, front bumper was about an inch and a half off the ground, could get into the jervis no bother but not a hope of changing level, ended up having to do laps of the ground floor for about 45 mins untill I got a space!!
