On my 05 you can adjust it all individually, ie you could drop the access height to the bump stops if you wanted but leave the running height standard.

Rather than measure the car, measure the gap.
I would tie a taught piece of string at the height you require to drive under,
Then drive under it and see if you hit (or get somebody else to watch and measure the gap)
My 54 plate can be adjusted on the access height GAP tool, and I think I would get underneath no problem, but as I say try a piece of string first.

I had a 110 once that got in a multi story car park under the height restriction, but on driving out, the rear of the roof hit the car park ceiling as coming down the ramps it makes the roof rear go up quite a lot!
I had to find several people to stand on the tow bar and grab handles for several floors to be able to get out! I didn't want to take air out of the tyres as I had a long drive afterwards but that would have been as last resort, and fortunately no serious roof damage as I was going slow. I don't think you could do that with a FFRR as the roof line is much shorter, bar wiping out the aerial.

On a separate but similar note, can a FFRR get in the short stay Gatwick north terminal car park as I think that is 1.8m ish?

It'll also depend what tyres you have.

255/55/20 will be taller than 255/50/20.

And you'll be almost 1cm taller with new tyres too. So you may fit with worn out 255/50s but whop the GPS off with a set of new 255/55

Yeah, with it being so close any little thing can make it a fail (or pass).

I have my eye on 3 local FFRRs, 2 are all original (an '07 and an '08 ) and a 2010 on turbine L405 22". Based on the pictures I've seen, the '08 doesn't seem to have the GPS antenna where the others do (it must have it?). And of course, the 22s are .6" taller than the original, so that might also be an issue. Laughing
We'll see in person.

But yeah, as mentioned I can do away with the GPS and use Google Maps like always.
