Snow + Ice vs Front Spoiler ?

I have the JCWs body kit and the front spoiler looks super close to the pavement . I am curious about what kind of "winter hits" it can take before it gets damaged?

snowplow

I have a 2012 Justa and I've been wondering the same thing this year since we've had a bunch of snow and ice. I worry about running into the chunks of ice that fall off of vehicles in front of me and plowing through snow that's deeper than the front of my car. So far no problems, but I am very careful to try to avoid the really big chunks and to not plow through where snowplows have cleared the roads into the driveways.

I have a '13 JCW with aero that is lowered and has a tegris splitter from M7 (great product) . Check it out. When squirrels need to freshen their fades they watch for me slicing low down the street.
