Hi, I know this is a problem many have faced. Looking for a solution. No matter how slow or at what angle I back out of my driveway, front spoiler scrapes. So, when approaching the car from the front, it looks a little ragged. Is there a type of sandpaper or tool I can use to smooth out these rough edges or actually shave some off of the spoiler?
Thanks

A sharp knife will shave off the streamers quite nicely.

 

Thank you all. The thread was helpful. Spoke to a body shop that recommended 4 passes starting with 80 grit up to 300+ grit sandpaper.

 

I use a small piece of plastic clear door edge guard on the areas on the lower spoiler that scrape. Helps allot. I bought a new sacrificial spoiler off of eBay for a great price and am saving it for when I really need to replace it.

 

No matter how hard you try, its going to continue to scrape. I see no need to go anything finer than 100 grit sandpaper. a complete waste of time to be polishing the thing smooth with 300...

 

If I ever see people kneeling down in front of my car going tsk tsk, I might replace mine. Otherwise, I just live with it.

 

If it's a good looking woman kneeling down by my car ...............better stop so I don't get kicked out of the forum.

 

Depends on whether your car door is open or closed...

 

+1. It's only about $100 for the set of 3 pieces.

 

Unhingd, Could you please let me know what to search for? I tried a couple of things and can't seem to locate them. I did 2016 Jaguar F Type Front Spoiler. Thanks.

 

T2R4160

 

T2R4160 is the center piece. C2P22211 and CP22212 are the right and left spoilers respectively. All 3 cost $115 delivered. Do a search on ebay for these part numbers. rusnakjaguarparts4u is usually the low cost vendor.

 

I've the 100 grit as previously recomended and it is quite effective.

 

I agree 100%. I just scrape it with a razor knife periodically; far less effort
