Spped bumps are generally managed by weaving across the road, taking them one wheel at a time where possible.

If its a daily driver and you have more than half a dozen speed humps to bounce over a day... it may get a little tiresome! If you only use it for fun and see the irregularly... I wouldn;t worry about it... the splitters aren't particularly expensive!

and when I sold the car to you it had the original splitter .... do you mean you have been bouncing off the speed bumps !
The bigger problem is a "valley " , for example entering a car park on the down and having to go up on a sharp V especially with people behind...
Ferries ,but they usually have ramps available to bridge the gap. Enter backwards or sideways usually does the job.

smile I'm talking about S2 exiges in the main.... not real ones.

The original splitter is still fixed to the one you looked after all those years - the number plate is doing an excellent job of providing an early warning system. However, not everything is the same, it is now packing 330bhp in the back smile
