I have a 981S and the top of the headlights have faded and give the impression of being scratched as if some has lightly sand papered them..car is pristine apart from that..anyone else have this problem?

This is something I have seen on a few of them. Generally it's the UV protective coating that starts to flake off
We use a body shop to remove it and reapply a new lacquer to it. Although they have to use the right lacquer or it will happen again quite quickly.
