Twice now, have just touched the bottom plastic bit under the spiltter. (Not sure what this is called, deflector?). It's not too obvious so not especially worried, but need to be much more careful! Wondering about a stick on rubber strip to give any touching a bit more resilience. Comments or other suggestions welcome.

Yes it's a central and two side pieces and a few fixings - probably save half the cost by swapping it out yourself compared to main dealer hourly rates.
Of the two exits to our office car park I have to "tack" across one or it scrapes - and the sound is not nice, being hard plastic, but is nothing of concern really.

thanks for replies, I'll worry less for the moment. I would have through some firm rubber would have been a better material.
Lunar - I'll try 'licking' it to lubricate it?(!)

Haha - yes that should do it!
Maybe a length of that reinforced edging strip you used to get on older cars to hold the door aperture trims on with would be good.
Of course if you scrape it too much you will lose the ground effects and no longer be able to hang upside-down like that

Sand it. A bit of coarse sand paper to take the burrs off and it doesn't look too bad. I've made mine last 7 years doing that at the end of every year so far.
I do need a new one now, but it doesn't look too bad at all tbh.

Coarse sandpaper on a block and back to perfect in 5 mins
I would not attach anything to it. As it is it scrapes and grinds and is a good reminder. Anything added or extra may grip the surface and rip pieces off. Then you have a proper repair job to do
