I've foolishly (repeatedly) scraped the underside of the front bumper on kerbs when parking. Looks crap. Can anyone recommend a suitable protector (matching?). Cheers

I looked into these, what I don't like is they reduce clearance and require drilling of the carbon fiber to install.

Cheers, don't fancy getting that done. HBradley mentions a thicker PPF. Do you know what this is?

A think layer of PPF underneath the Carbon fiber splitter would be cheap insurance for a minor scrape. Would be a single use and need to be replaced if every in a scrape, but it would protect the clear coat some. Would only need to be on the under surface, do wouldn't even show.

Something cheap like this might work.

Unfortunately it's not just the underside. If you squat you can see the front is worn away a 10cm gash. Not so noticeable when it is dirty
