This happened after my dad drove my car and got out of the parking. I was shocked when he showed me my car. Can I fix this, is it even worth to fix? Buy new one, or Mtech?

since it's a clean crack with no pies missing or badly distorted, it should be a pretty easy fix with some fiberglass on the back and some bondo in the front. You'll need to re-paint the whole lip though...

i think it's the powers high above giving you a sign to go mtech or m5 rep

If it is just the underside, and not visible from above, I'd just put a couple heavy duty staples in there and bolt it back on. Then start saving your pennies for a replacement.

sh!t happens, love your dad. If you are lucky enough to have a child and see them grow up, maybe they will let you drive their pride and joy.

Jesus. This is why I never let ANYONE drive my car, period. EVER.

P.S. - Not worth it. Time to upgrade to M5 or Mtech.
