Glad you all had fun and no ‘dramas’ this year!
Did its job - kept the bugs and stone chips off. I scraped the edge of the spoiler a few times, which shredded it in places, but it also (mostly) protected the paint. I'm about to wash it, which will give me a closer look. I'll raise the ride height a touch, and fit heavier springs, but the deep front spoiler is always going to be the most vulnerable bit of the car. The skid plate under the front cross member I fitted did its job. On an otherwise smooth road surface, sometimes you can be caught out by an unseen bump, especially at high speed - I reckon we must have gone as fast as 100kph in places...
Update: just washed it, and there are some chafing marks on the paint, which will buff out, but I think 3M film will be a better option in future.

Hence me never going to take my 365 anymore. The Datto is amazing and cheapaschips to run....in comparison to a FEV12OHOS.
I just worked out that the vette averaged a whisker over 20mpg on the trip back from QLD. Helps that it's downhill I guess
