Sound advice Old Guy.

There is no we owe in this case. Frankly I was fine with the spoiler, and the door panel scratches. It will happed eventually.

The rocker panel/ side skirts are a different story. This was not noticed till I washed the car a few days after delivery. I'm not happy about the damge.

A claim has been put in for "transport damage" as this is the only plausible cause for the identical damage on each side. Drivers side is slightly worse.

Best case is I am given new sill covers. A second option would be body shop repair and blend for the panel.

Either way the panels must be painted.

My wife runs a body shop so I'm at ease at least with the paint match.

Still dissapointing really....it's a shame you can't buy a new car without having to take a maginfing glass to it.

Full sticker on this one was 45K, you'd think better care would be taken...but then I'm also thinking people give a ****. Most don't.
