I have this too! And mine's white!
My car's getting a few paint problems; at the moment it's nothing so bad, but by next year I'm probably going to get a re-paint..

anyone had any problems with the paint pulling up off the panel when it gets chipped? ive got a few spots were it has bottomed out on the front bumper lip and the paint as slowly pulled away, almost as though the bumper was not prepped properly before being sprayed.

ive stuck carbon vinyl on the lower part of the front bumper, and on the rear end of the side skirts just to try and stop it from happening. BTW Tyron, that is nothing, ive got chips down to the bare metal. i did however get some touch up paint and can hardly notice.

btw, if anyone wants to know were to get the best touch up paint in adelaide, the Auto Pro on corner of Montague and Kelly Road in Clover Crest is awesome, used them to paint my spoiler too, its damn close to perfect even when dried.
