So I managed to just get my first scratch... x30 or so

Pulled up to a driveway I shold have known was too steep and scraaaape... the underside of my front bumper has tons of little scratches on it now...

Most not so bad but about 10 of them on the drivers side are on the front bottom edge where you can see them from standing in front of the car if you lean over a bit... ____es me off soooo much and I hope they don't end up peeling or chipping further up onto the front of the bumper.

So what's everyones storys on first scratches? I did t a search but didn't come up with anything...

Mines BRM which is fairly dark... oddly the scratches have a lot of white in them as well as black... seems I woulda been cursed either way...

I think 75% or more of the tC's out there (especially the lowered ones) have the scraped up bumper bottom. Mine got scraped up a while back, but thankfully its not visible unless you're just about under the car. My first scratch on my tC was 3 weeks after I got it, some jack-a$$ backed into my car's rear bumper while backing out from a parking space behind me I have no idea who did it, although they owned a teal car (the color left in place of my color).

i think this has happen to almost everyone. i let my brother take my tC out and it came back with those scratches.

I've got scratches on the passenger side bottom of my front lip

and one time I was trying to angle into a driveway but a car was coming out at the same time so I didn't have much room and I scraped the bottom part of the back of my sideskirt and the scratch marks are white-- you can't really tell unless I point it out, or you rub your hand under it but it still sucks =/

^^^ me too but i don't have a lip

Well as if to mess with me just a bit more I followed up with my second ding today...

Parked in my normal space, opened my door all the way to get out and as I let go of the handle that last little notch gave in the hinge and the door swung the last 2 inches... into the neighbors mirror putting a small but noteable scratch right above my handle.

Neighbors beater car suffered nothing (his unpainted plastic mirror had some of my sealant and clear coat on it, but that wiped right off) and now every time I grab my door handle I get to be reminded how I hate that last little bit the door opens even after the second dimple in the hinge.
