New car scratch.. :(

Took delivery a week ago with about 100 miles on the car. Yesterday as I was taking a photo to see if the ride height is high enough to take the stopper at my parking garage, I found some scratches on the silver pieces above the front splitter.



Only drove the car for like 200 miles on highway, and that scratches looks kind of funky. Does any of you guys have this issue?

Whoa, yeah that is a really weird place to get a scratch... it didn't scratch the bottom lip at all? Looks almost like you hit a curb with the front, but I would have imagined it would have damaged the bottom portion of the bumper as well...

Honestly you're either bothered by scratches or you aren't. I have matte paint with a few blemishes/small scratches here and there.

I decided to not overthink it too much and just enjoy it

I decided I should join the crowd and also be the one enjoying the drive

the bottom is fine, and that's why I'm curious..don't think I've ever parked near any curb except the one in my garage, which is impossible to cause this type of scratch..

You are not bothered if you never noticed it haha, once you noticed it you are going to think about it lol. How many miles do you have on your car?
