Measure the ramps/car before buying.
I aquired a set and they have been completely useless, not found a car that will go on them yet.

Buy John's.
If I were you, and couldn't find any I'd be off to Halfords.

hmmm lidl axles stands arent they the ones that fold in half while you are under the car!
my dad has a set of ramps that go up in stages there good for low cars but he brought them back from america but am sure you will get them here.

Use some old timber to reduce the angle.

Tried that once but then got really fed up, quicker to jack it up.
I took my front bumper off to fit xenons, then drove it up the ramps, then forgot it wouldn't go up and put the bumper back on.
Didn't realise until I tried to reverse off

They are wank.
Unless you are jacking a car up, leaving the wheels on and want something more 'safe' than an axle stand they are a waste of time.
I gave 2 sets away and chucked one in the tip.
Save your money.

haha the good old widow maker. get yourself a clarke racing jack i bought one from machine mart there the best things ever. there only 79mm high so will go under pretty much anything my corsa is lowered about 100mm and it goes under no bother. there also made from aluminium so its light as hell.
