As our tip is pointing downwards, higher chance of hitting kerb.
but if to cut off the tip and weld a straight tip onto it,will it be better?
legal anot?

not only rear, the front also very low.
beware not to park head in also

my front kena and drop out when head in.

I for one can testify, I parked head in at Suntec where the lot got one metal bended pole kurb, I heard and felt that my front bumper rubed against it. So I reverse and heard another loud sound, lo and behold, my front bumper came out... yes, mine is bodykit which came with it when I bought it... Nissan Latio Sedan... Premium.. haiz.. got to be careful... our cars are pretty low...

was told by the SA is better not to park head for latio.  the front bumper is quite low esp those with DS3 body kit.  if need to , don;t move too close to the curb.
if really need to park head.  best to install a front parking sensor for detecting the curb

Installing front bumper sensor may be a good option too, like eating at Siglap area, you will need to park head in most of the time unless I park behind... anyone know how much does it cost to install sensor at the front?

without bodykit will also hit hor. very stock, no DS3 or whatever kit.
I kena before, bumber was pull out a bit and left an opening to the attached seam on left side front.

so it's better to hit the back than front bcos it will pull out if u heads in.

My advice for solution if u have some money to spare is get a reverse camera and judge from the screen which i always do.
