Anyone experienced this yet?

Came a bit too close to a curb and paid the price. It's barely visible from the front, thankfully. Think I might just get some touch up paint and call it a day.

This is under the front bumper? Shit happens. I'd just touch it up.

But I do recommend you back in to your spots. Take advantage of sensors and camera.

Unfortunately that happened to me after only 2 months of ownership.When it first happened I wanted to get it repaired but after a few week passed I started to forget it was there (very small scrape and doesn't really show on BSM unless you look for it)

Id say just use some touch up. After all it is a pretty small blemish

...and I'm not even lowered. It happens no matter how careful.

I've seen it happen as the transport from the port is unloading it at the dealer lot.
If it really bugs you, a body shop can clean it right up.

Yep...being more careful is right. It's a shame since I've had the car for over a year and have been able to avoid instances of potential self-inflicted damage for the most part. And I typically back into spots but this was one of the few days I didn't. Oh well. I'll live.

I think I'll use some fine sandpaper to smooth out some of the rough grooves and use touch up paint.

Oh...and the pic only shows the right side. This blemish has a twin on the left side as well.

If it's going to happen, under the car is the best place.
