Well, my bad; I misspoke about the cause of the scars on my M7 CF Air Diverter. I have now determined that the scars came from the screws that hold the brackets for my driving lamps, so if you have the driving lamps braced to your grille (like the ones sold by Mini) and you get the M7 CF Air Diverter, be alert to the location of these 4 screws (2 on each driving lamp bracket) when the hood is closed and they come in contact with the diverter. Rather than placing rubber bumpers directly on the diverter, a better answer may be placing adhesive-backed rubber cushioning to the 4 screw heads. Again, anyone else noticing this issue should offer their own takes on possible fixes.
