GR Yaris Fragile paint

[Yohz78]

Hey,

Is it me or the red paint is incredibly fragile ?

Just touching plants on the side while another car was coming in front on a small country road was enough to leave marks on the bumper. I've been taking this road everyday for 2 years and it never left a mark with my other cars.

I'm telling myself 'hey its a rally car, don't mind it is just war scars" but it is still annoying. I don't wanna PPF the car as it is 5K€ and come with its own disadvantage. Is there something else I could do to protect it ?

Yes I've never had a car with such soft/thin paint.

That's a shame, we can't really treat them like jewels all the time !

At the current rate I'll have to paint the bumper quite often. I may aswell just leave it with its scars ... Make me feel bad about going onto gravels though

I tend to stay away from gravel if I can but am leaving the paint chips until such times as I come to sell and will decide what to do then.

Roads are really dirty at this time of the year here... I can't stay away from chips really, except if I don't use the car
