Hi,

Does anyone know what this white residue is on the rear grill?

It’s still there after washing the car.

Does anyone else experience this?

Do you have a close up - difficult to tell from that resolution. It’s likely to either be water deposits as when you wash the car it gathers in the grill then dries. It will leave marks and especially in a hard water area. I always use a leaf blower to get rid of it after a wash. Or if a corrosive shampoo has been used it could do that but I expect that would have eaten your paint first! The worst case, that black grill is known for the paint corroding - as it gets v hot. These can be easily removed and power coated in expensively at a wheel place.

I had it happen to my car too, dealer replaced it under warranty so give them a call.

I've seen it before on a 2015 car. It's a reaction to the heat cycles and moisture over time. As mentioned above dealer should be able to replace.

Thanks guys, it's much appreciated.

Unfortunately there is no Lamborghini dealership in Ireland.

Does anyone know if it is difficult to remove, and I'll bring it to someone who could powder coat it.

I had the same issue on my Gallardo- Powder Coating is the answer.
