CL9 sports front lip was scraped underneath as its a little low when going up driveways etc
Not too bad as it's not visible unless looking underneath but just annoying..
Leave it and let it go since I'm bound to get stone chips etc in the future?
What sort of meguires/mothers stuff can I use or would I need it professionally sanded and putty'd and painted ? If so then fuck it..

Without pics then its kinda hard to answer.
Im guessing paint if its anything like how mine looks
Some of those might look a little better with some rubbing but overall bugger all difference. You certainly cant do anything about the black parts you can see where the paint has worn through to the plastic. Just something you have to live with, with a low car.

Where's a good place with reasonable price to fix it up in Auckland ?
Any car painter can do it, wont cost much.
If you cant see it I wouldnt bother as its just going to happen again and again
or fit a piece of alloy for a scrape guard
Was reading this thread

Thats just going to make the lip even lowerlower = more damage

It's probably also the way you're approaching the driveways. One wheel at a time, so if you're turning into a driveway, inside front wheel first then outside front, then the rear inside and outside will follow.
When exiting a driveway, if you're turning left, your front right tire must go out first, so you must exit at an angle. So do the opposite with turning into a driveway - having your outside tire step out first then your inside front, and your rear outside and inside will follow.
i do believe we dont live in america
that thing is hideous! just go on angles ans slowly into driveways.
if ur standing infront of the car and looking down and cant see it, just leave it

Will get it fixed in the next 10 to 12 months or so from gtref
if you have alow car your just going have to get use to the scraping, or an alternative park it on the road or drop a hunk of 4by2 in the dip of ur driveway so you can get it in to ur drive way with out the scrape fixed my problem
