I thought it was dust or something off a protective film but my air vent surrounds have some small “milky” bubbles in the carbon fibre. Has anyone else found this, I’m just deciding whether to live with it or get them changed under warranty (hoping it’s not a dash out job)

Picked mine up today. I’ve the same problem on the passenger side bezel and also on the front bit of the centre consul, although that’s not so bad.

I’ll be calling the dealer, but give it a few days in case I notice anything else.

It’s pretty bad/obvious. No excuse for them making it onto a car really.

Feature not fault.

You lucky so-and-so.

Here’s mine. A little on the centre consul piece too. Car needs booking in for inspection before warranty claim can be opened.

Detailer who did my recently purchased gt spotted the same thing. Told me some Ferrari’s had that too and was a warranty claim.

Not sure i can be bothered to wrestle that one.

Does not bother me much. If it was a Bentley or a Ferrari, i may see things differently.
