cerealuk Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Will a non lowered zed clear a standard sized kurb? where I park at work its a pain trying to avoid having to drive up/down the kurb not sure whether to risk it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiemonster Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Get the tape measure out mate i have a lip on mine and theres no chance of that getting over. I should think standard you would be ok depending on how high the curb is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 curb* mine is standard and on most curbs the nose clears quite easily. Saying that, I would not make a habbit of testing this theory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5259 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 don't risk it - sometimes you'll get on ok but the drop off might be deeper or the suspension squash will cause the car top bottom out on the KERB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 without lip it wont clear IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
introspect Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Don't think there is such a thing as a "standard" kerb. If it looks a bit big then I wouldn't want to risk it personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesyj Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've parked at my local Tesco once or twice nose in to a kerb. If I'd gone any further forward, I would have scraped that lower plastic shroud under the front lip. And that was on a fairly small to normal size kerb, don't risk it chaps.

Correct (well nearly) ... kerbs have a water line at 100 mm below the top, but the blacktop is often finished below the water line to get a gradient to aid the flow of surface run-off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
