    Flaking paint in engine bay

    Anyone else seen this?

    2011 V10, as you can see the paint / covering of the surround in the engine bay is flaking off. Dealer says this shouldn't happen and is going to look at it, but wondered if anyone seen this?

    Take it to the dealer. This should not happen.

    My take is that someone has re-painted this before you got it to cover up something.

    09 Ibis White/Carbon Roof - C/F Interior and anything that doesn't move.
