After having her for only 2 days, I've gotten some little scratches underneath the front bumper from scraping a curb in a stall (damn this thing is low)

has anyone had the same thing happen?

Im gonna go to some auto rebuild shops tomorrow and get quotes to have them buff it out... this sucks

 

I found it hard to judge where the front of the car is in reference to parking blocks. I have a front spoiler, so it is a little lower than normal. I went over one in my first month. Just to hear that scrape... ugh. I now know tho give myself plenty of distance. You just learned that too.

so does your have scratches underneath?

have you gotten any quotes to buff it out before?

Thanks

 

well, it's on the underside of the bumper... and unless you get on your knees and look up, you really can't see it at all. I was going to get the whole thing painted, but word is yellow is hard to match, so I decided to just deal with it... plus it's a bumper, it'll get scratches sooner or later.

That's the spirit!!! Call it a battle scar. Hope you don't get anymore.

 

I got some very light scratches from misjudging the front of the bumper. I barely scraped the bottom of it. The good thing is, the scatches aren't visible unless you're underneath the car.

A lot of people have put on the front spoiler just for the purpose of scratching that piece up instead of the bumper. It's cheaper to replace.

I now leave plenty of room between the front of the car and any parking bump. The car is so short that you can be pretty far away from the bump and still have plenty of room to fit in the parking space.
