I was about to order a White 2012 SA with M Sports Pack. The real reason we want this is to lose the plastic around the fenders. But after reading about the paint chips and most likely doing a lot of street parking in a big city, maybe I should skip this? I think without the M Sports Pack not only will my fenders be safer from chips, but it looks like the bumper will have a little extra protection.
Do you all concur?

Thanks!

*oh its going to be a lease too
