Scraping 😬

Looking to buy a c4 but I live in a rather hilly area and my neighborhood has a few speed bumps (not super high) should I be worried about scraping?

No. My C4 doesn’t scrape on speed bumps. I guess it is just high enough

Mine has some chin scrapes on the very lower black plastic valence. They were present when I got the car could be driveway entrance ramps of curbs

depends upon the size of the speed bump, whether you have a coupe or convertible and how fast you go over the speed bump.

My '89 doesn't scrape on anything near as bad as the two C5s I owned previously.

So far haven't had an speed bumps large enough with mine to scrape, but have to back it out of my driveway a specific way not to have scraping.

My 96 Convertible will scrape the X-Brace on speed bumps if you take them at anything past a crawl. It really hangs down below everything else. As long as you are careful, though, it's not an issue.
