Genuine question for actual owners - 570s grounding risk?
Discussion

In my limited experience with my 540 and having looked at countless 570's recently expecting to buy or keep the front end underneath in pristine condition is a big ask! Unless it's never been driven or repaired every now and again I have come to assume they all have scuffs of some sort, almost rites of passage. I think you'd look for a long time to find a car with no marks at all? I maybe totally wrong here but that is now how I am going forwards in my search 
I am looking at getting “scrape armour” (https://www.scrapearmor.com/products/scrape-armor-bumper-protection-mclaren-570s-2015)As well - but only if I am happy with how it is fitted
No, unfortunately not, it's $745 plus tax in the US. Then obviously delivery on top.
I'm not sure I can share my source, and I wasn't saying look at me I can get a great deal... I wanted to point out that some prices are overly inflated, and there are also good deals out there that just take a little bit longer to find.
Hope that makes sense.

Yeah that’s cool sorry said £545 delivered lol. No probs I’ll keep looking - will see when/if I finally get the car I'm not sure I can share my source, and I wasn't saying look at me I can get a great deal...

Or you can go the generic stick on stuff from eBay for less than a tenner a strip

At that price and before you start drilling extra holes all over the place you may as well live with the scars and get the under bumper repaired and painted before you sell it. It's hardly a complex job.

My thoughts entirely. I'm not that worried about scrapes now to be fair they just go with the territory. Getting them repaired before sale maybe more tricky as I am looking for a car with carbon splitter 😳😳Or you can go the generic stick on stuff from eBay for less than a tenner a strip
No issues here with a 570S Spider. One local road which is quite long has pretty vicious speed bumps so I either put lift on and just keep the speed down so I don't have to keep deploying it or avoid the road completely. My Taycan can store lift co-ordinates (similar to adding a waypoint) so on regular routes it does it for you, very handy.
