Need help about paint flaking

Featured Replies

Greetings to all for a start...

I would like to share with you my problem and worries ..any help acceptable.

I decided to wash my Superb yesterday (Saturday) and i opened the bonnet to have with some water clear the dead insects from the radiator. I did so and i noticed that where the water hit the inside of the bumper, in front of the radiator ,the color was flaking and peeling off. The result was to have a considerable area on the iside of the front bumper naked of color with the grey color of the plastic to be shown.

I'm afraid that the peeling will continue as it is too much already. Sorry for the long post, i don't know what to do and how to deal with it. The car is 1year old, not repainted in my knowledge. Thank you all..

If you're worried about it, take it back and have it fixed under warranty. In my experience, the dealers are very happy to support warranty claims, it means more business for them.

Otherwise, if the flaking area is on plastic, and out of sight, it shouldn't cause a problem. You just need to be careful that it doesn't spread to an area that you can see
