Default Any Solutions for a light scratch on the front lower part of the bumper?

I must have rubbed the front plastic lower on a curb just in front on the right front wheel ...light scratches there... Do you guys know of any way to touch them up ...being that it's plastic? ...I'm hoping there's some way to cover it. Thanks!

The problem with Bra's are rocks remain underneath them and scratch the paint more.

Default This sounds like the gray lowers are definitely going to be a problem for this.

I sure wish Audi would have made them a very dark gray or black. We are all going to get scrapes and marks from rocks and tar. It would be very easy to touch up black lowers! It will be almost impossible to match the gray!

Default i disagree. i think the lowers are solid and unpainted which is easier to maintain . . .

if it were black it might hide tar stains, but every nik and scrape would show right through

im quickly learning to love the lowers

alot cheaper to replace a lower panel, especially when you leave it unpainted

"make sense?"

Default I wasn't implying "painted" black, black right though just like the gray!

The old Gen 1 had black plastic that you could scrap and thouch up with diluted satin black paint.

What are you going to use when you hit the first cement parking space block and it gouges the gray plastic. The only solution if to fill and paint it gray...which will probably not match the look and texture of the original plastic plus probably eventually chip off!. Sorry but solid black plastic goes a long way in covering a lot of sins!

Stay away from Audi OEM bra, it will likely scratch your hood

Don't get the OEM Bra from Audi. I put mine on and it danced all over my hood and caused surface scuff marks on my hood. I took it back to the dealer for a refund and also had them buff and wax my hood where the bra caused the damage.
