I scraped my car getting into this very steep parkade in the morning and I'm afraid it will be worse leaving it now. any pointers as to lessen the impact???

Angle it, maximize the angle of approach and hope for the best. If the entrance is narrow, there's not much you can do.

Your angles are all wrong!

...lol but seriously, as previously mentioned, just try to approach really wide like the letter "C".

Buy a dash camera, video tape the scraping, sue the parkade.

I hope this is all in jest as it was the OP who willingly went into the parade in the first place in their low car.

The OP could have just tried to see if he could make it in.

I do that all the time. Either angle it and get out or angle it and scrape it and live with it

How are your backing skills?

Generally there's less overhang at the rear...so maybe that's an option for you? Just don't blame me when you back into the wall or curb your front.

To be fair, that is a pretty large speedbump; I don't think my Z06 could clear it either :rofl:
