I will be using my new 355 for the first time around spring time and wanted to get peoples thoughts on Speed Bumps?

I have had the skid plates installed as some protection but wondered if anyone knew what bumps a 355 would clear, or the bumps it wont? I think the worst are the rubber ones that are screwed into the tarmac, these seem very severe.

I live at Chichester and looking at places with secure parking like Gunwharf at portsmouth (if anyone has been there in a Ferrari)for example. Will a 355 clear these speed bumps?
Is there a tried and tested techinique to tackling them, or just slow?

Thanks

355 about the worst Ferrari for speed bumps - one technique is to approach at a slight angle so one wheel hits first and also lands first - some claim improvement by swopping on the bump ie taking off left first but landing right first

I find as long as you slow right down it's fine for every speed bump I've come across and also had it up and down multi-story car parks ands it been largely fine.

I find it worst when coming off a ramp at an angle with a passenger, it will scrap but only lightly off the skidplates.

you should be fine . just be careful the skid plates don't catch on the hump as it can cause the bumper to split if you properly whack it .
