Default Call me crazy...but...
I use those parking stops as a *visual* cue to stop, not a tactile cue. As a result, I've never lost a spoiler or scraped a bumper.

Cheers,

You're right but after driving trucks for 12 years, I failed to take everything into account...

Learned this the hard way on my C4 A6, not a good sound when you hear it start to scrape.

Default I heard that *crunch-pop* sound the other day...it was a new Volvo wagon...
..jacked up the lower lip of the bumper, but it stayed on and didn't seem to damage anything else. :/

Default I'm ready to get a couple of those chrome spring curb finders... just kidding
After driving a Corvette you really learn about parking curbs.
