Underbody Scratches?

gbrettin · 08-08-2012, 04:16 PM

Scrapping the front spoiler is just going to be a casualty from me driving the car. I've scrapped a lot with mine but I wouldn't take it off. The spoiler is functional even with gnarly gashes in it.

This is the daily grind for me. It is so common. I look at the chin spoliers ground down appearance as a badge of honor. If you want pics I can supply them.

Worry not.

It makes me so careful that I'm sure it's helping the actual bumper itself

This piece is designed to get scraped. Its rubber after all. Just use sand paper to clean it up every 6 months or so, will look like new!

True... Just an idea I mean we did fork out extra cash for that piece I just want it to be perfect. I know I know it will never be.
