I've recently started practicing avoiding the concrete "stops" at some carparks - if there's a wall you can go by the lights I've found - and snaking over certain things.

I'll post a pic of the 'demon' driveway at my local Repco sometime. :)

I just looked underneath today... (in prep. for taking off bumper to do some dent repairs) and saw the scratches...

kinda pissed off but what are you gonna do. I might sand it down when I take off the bumper next week, but like everyone else said, not worth worrying about (though I was tempted...)

I've scratched mine, 10 cent coin sized patch on the right hand side Airdam. Was coming out of a driveway form a parking lot, had a decievingly steep dip on it, I was going very slow as it was but still managed to scrape it.

I had touch up paint at the time anyways so I patched it up.

Ive scraped mine so many times.

Haha ofey, how was the scrape of mine coming out of the Eltham Park. CRUNCH! My whole bumper moved ROFL.

Actually looked underneith and mines not bad. I mean, its not good, but for the amount of times ive scraped it, ive gotten off pretty easy, Ive scraped the crap out of that little plastic wind deflector under the car though...

Best virgin scrape I've ever had! I felt bad but not that good about it. I've slightly scraped the undersides, but *touch wood* nothing else thus far.
You'll live with it. :D

Keep in mind my car is NOT LOWERED AT ALL. And that is the reason why :lol:

I scape my driveway with those black flaps every time I exit. And the airdams cop a bashing too, in carparks etc... But they are cheap to replace so not too concerned.
