The other day I noticed these strange scratches at the front bumper. At first thought this could've been caused by hitting the curb while parking (which I certainly would remember), but the irregular scratch pattern seems to point to something else. But what? What could have caused these deep scratches?
You think it's from a curb or parking block, even with these irregular scratches? I would rather guess this could come from a 'moving' object, no idea what, or who.

Positive it's from a curb of parking block. I used to have to fix this identical damage when I detailed years ago.

Easy to fix depending on where you live. Dealers sometime have mobile services that come and fixe stuff like this. See if there is a company called colors on parade in your area. They can take of this. There are other companies that do bumper repair.

You can temporarily hide it with touch up paint, go to a body shop and pay $$$, or get the mobile service like Dieseldoc said. I personally am not a fan of the mobile fixs as the quality is either great or **** poor.
Great idea. Do you have any links or pictures please?
Keep in mind that adding a lip to your front bumper will leave the bottom of it even lower than stock... If in fact these scratches are caused by parking block, and if you thought you'd notice hitting such block but didn't, it won't be too long before any lip you might add will also end up getting more scratches...
Carbon fiber is nice when it is clean and scratch free, but once it does get scratched, it cannot be fixed.... whereas a painted lip can be either touched up or repainted.
