Well i have my second war wound. First one was a very small scratch on a wheel.

This new one is from clipping the front lib on a gutter while driving into parking spot in a shopping centre. Was only a light impact but was enough to pop the front hooks of the lip out of the bumper. Look easy to fix though. Just undo all the screws and then re fit it. Only slight scuffs on the front of the lip too.

Anyone else clipped there lip on anything ?

Sorry to hear about that! Nothing worse than getting battle scars on the new pride and joy and you can't blame anyone else for it.

I was shattered with mine when 1km after leaving the dealership a stone flicked up from a car in front and chipped my new windscreen!

No just a stock Mk5 GTI. I think it was a combo of a higher than normal gutter and the angle of the parking bay and me being not as cautious as normal when parking. I normally back into spots to stop this from happening.
