Angry didn't take long
It has happened: screwed up my front lip from a rock or some debris....
put a small crack right on the seam in the front........so annoying.......
might be time for a new front lip........don't know yet......
also had a rock jump off the highway onto my windshield.......
oh the joys of my cars...............


I thought I'd make it longer without the front lip being ghetto.......


sigh

some clear bra would have been a good idea, considered it but never followed through with it.......maybe for the next one
I think it could be repaired somehow I guess......
I'm also concerned with it weathering due to the finish being compromised.....
time will tell

I remember on my 2011 991 TT.2 I hit the front lip (Cargraphic 4k)... I cracked in right down the center at the nose.

Long story short: I dumped the car.

One door closes, one opens.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
Not to belittle the crack, but I was thinking something bigger. After all, it's a car running outside so things like that are bound to happen, just sooner or later like you had mentioned. Maybe so clear lacquer over it will do...
