Just to add to this....10cm off the ground is the minimum, but also the middle most point of the headlights must be greater than 59cm.

The only bit that doesn't count is brakes.

59cm to the headlight?

There are a lot of new cars that can't pass this

I have heard it must be the lowest point of the car where it's measured from, and 100mm off the ground. Some people say it's the size of a coke can.

PrettyBlueBug Almost over it...
