You have two options:

1. Raise the car
2. Remove the mudflaps

Just leave it. Eventually it'll get to the point that it cant grind on anything else.

Im not as low as you but they scrape on speed bumps all the time- makes me feel like my car is slammed- but if they end up looking like that cause your car is that low then you should take them off

Just trim them or leave them on and they'll grind down themselves to the right size.

I removed my front ones on my DB8. Lowered 2 inch's, also painted my side skirts so it looks alot better.

Just let them scrape away.....Within time, they'll shave themselves down to a less annoying height. I dont know how the car will look without front mudflaps and only rears on....Kinda looks incomplete when I envision it. Anyone have pics?
