The paint on the rear bumper is starting to come off just behind the wheels.
As anyone else had this if so what did the dealer say ?

ive not noticed the paint flaking on mine. i have noticed though that the paint is very thin around the number plate area. I mean really thin you can actually see through it!!!

Have this on mine too, but just on the offside! Suggestions are it started as a small chip and paint was then blasted off by water and debris coming off the wheel. I just got it touched up using the touch up pen supplied with the car.

Hmm - have to watch this one. I think some poly-vinyl stone chip protector should help this.
