Front Bumper scratched / paint off

Hi - I just bought a 2008 Guards Red Turbo - Sexyyy!!

Unfortunatley, only after the first week I have already scraped the bottom of my bumper in the front. The paint chippped off from 2 places and a small scratch right under the left fog light when pulling out of the garage at my work.

Do you all have the same problem in regards to keeping the bumper not damaged?

How shall I get this fixed? Repainted? Or wait as this is going to continue to happen?!?

Any suggestions would be helpful. Will post pix soon

Take driveways in a 45 degree angle, in and out. That will keep the bumper off the ground. The outer wheel may lift off but that does not hurt the car.

if the paint is already gone the only proper way is to have the whole bumper resprayed.

a lip is a good idea if you car doesn't have one as it will take the beating first

another idea is a clear bra but it wont last long against pavement and concrete scrapes
