Sometimes it just cant be avoided .... Any rubber or plastic cover we can install in the bottom?
Well it honestly doesnt matter since nobody is even going to look under the front lip. But Sometimes those scratches come up to the front too. |

You could just get a splitter and have that take the grunt of being hit and save the paint. But as long as it's just scratched in the satin black section of the lip, there is no clear coat so just paint more satin black over it. I've hit mine a few times and that's what I'm planning to do once I have time.

It is interesting, maybe not for everyone, but I want something more extreme. Though, if that isn't an option, this is something that was made for the MKIV Jetta GLI's where the front lip sat extremely low. If you made something like that (a template, laser cutter and a countersink bit is all you need) you could protect the lip while not having it take away from the look.

Although I dont know how this might fit in the RS1.0 , the thing is our bumper never really gets scraped its the front lip. Mostly right underneath the fog lights. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89084 But it seems a bit pricey , I have no idea how much the RS1.0 front splitter alone costs. So it might not be worth the investment if its the same price to just replace the splitter entirely. http://www.protektskidplates.com/buy-now.html |

Idk if anyone has looked up the price of the lip yet, but I can't imagine it'll be cheap being made for a limited quantity vehicle. |

SHHHH let's not spook them... As you can see both parents share responsibilities in protecting the young. The bright colours of the new born will fade as it ages until it more closely matches the parents.

I was with @Moto-P a few months ago when were hanging out at Cusco and we test fit the Protekt skid plates on my RS. The plates did fit. However, they were about flush with the lip from what I remember so they didn't do too much. |
