Plug and play with the 19": switching back to my BBS around October for the winter season (actually, as soon as roads become a bit treacherous). Swapping to my summer setup again next Spring.

That's the secret of the trick: because some VO paint has been shaved off on the underside (culprit: a certain bloody curb I regularly got to negotiate), I have a fraction more ground clearance, as shown in the picture below (look careful and you'll see some black: VO missing - if there had been a splitter, the bumper would have been ripped apart at the contact points). So the bumper behaves like "une allumeuse": flirting with the obstacle, without kissing...
