Whoah!!!! Scarlet Snow's so pretty, doc! Grats!!!
On chin trouble, this might make it less painful...

ID the likely scrape points. Clean those areas under thoroughly, then final rub w/ moisturizer-free isopropyl alcohol. Overlay the 3M Tub & Shower Tread on those areas. Make em as stealth as possible. Should these patches eventually get scuffed, rinse & repeat.
I've long used that product for scuff protection on step boards & sills. It's tough & when stuck properly, they cling well. Look at my hobo application of this as scuff plates...

Hope this helps, doc! Happy Motorin'!!!!

Thank you for the advice!!

Should I sand them down first? or just clean them thoroughly then apply the shower tread?

Sanding on the underbelly? Only necessary if the rough patches have ridges that will compromise adhesion. Otherwise, it'll only require some thorough cleaning & iso alcohol(no moisturizer) rub down prior to sticking, doc.

Hi,

My 2017 M3 1.5 has no lining under the hood when it was delivered. Is it the same with your 1.5s?

You mean hood insulator? Yup for some reason the M3 does not come with it (mine is a 2016 1.5). Cost cutting perhaps on Berjaya's part? May abang though so when you buy one (hood insulator), swak siya.
