front spoiler damage repair

Anyone have a suggestion about how best to repair damage to the bottom of the front spoiler on my 991.2 Carrera GTS? Clearly I drove over something that gouged it.
Thinking about sanding it smooth - or just leave it alone??
Thanks

Easy repair with some body filler and sanding. Paint will be the issue if you’re trying to match.

Sand it down, buy some oem spray paint, light wet sand, polish, wax.

Sounds like nice diy job. Being so low on the car, if paint is not perfect match, or the diy is not perfect, it will not be an issue as it will not be easily noticed.

I would leave it alone, and then replace when it gets a bit more, ahem, aged.
