I hit the front lip of the TT yesterday night after clubbing and was wondering how many of you have done the same... And is it going to be expensive the fix that? Or its easily detachable and replacable?
As long as it's only the black bottom piece, no problem...easily detached and should be about $250.00. I have an extra one, but haven't used it yet.

If you are talking about the black lower extension. Yes it is replaceable. It is meant to take the curbing. Your tt was shipped without the piece installed. It snaps in place very easily. I would guess about $200.00. If the damage is to the underside and not too bad, you may be able to lightly sand it with emery cloth. Whatever you do, I would spray some black undercoating on the underside (after taping the fascia, of course.) of the lip to prevent future minor damage.
Re: I hit the front lip of the TT
I have an extra front lip for those unfortunate times that the front side gets scratched. A repair and painting cost me $125 CDN to fix. The lip is easy to remove, there are 2 allen key screws and a number of clips to slide off, about a 5 minute job. A new non-painted but primed lip costs under $300 CDN.
The painted look is worth having despite the hassel of the rare scrape.

IMO? Unless it looks like you're driving a broken piece of junk (as opposed to a _real_ car that gets driven in the real world) just leave it alone or make an acceptable repair and forget about it for now.
Eventually, when you get another dent (or worse
) and bring the car in for that repair get the lip repaired properly too. Meanwhile, for the interim you don't have to worry too much about hitting something down there again.
