Default front lip - prevent stone chips?
Just wondering if anyone has advice on how to prevent the front lip from being damaged by stone chips?

I got my GC8 last night, drove to work via Gnangara Road as I do daily and came home to a front lip full of stone chips! Just spent the last half hour with the touch up paint painting over the chips...

Cheers
