Paint peeling off

[Chrisgti6]

I don't think it's anything to do with the window moving, looks to have just bubbled up by itself, possibly due to the sun.

Still, it's an incredibly fun car so i'm not too worried anymore

Any pics?

wonder if its had the usual blow-over when at the import centre due to shipping damage....

Exactly my thoughts!

From that pic it looks like it's had some work previously tbh

How could you tell that from the picture? It all looks like the same paint in real life.

Because i've seen it on other vehicles.

It's highly unlikely that it left the factory with paint like that, it looks like that area has been resprayed before delivery, it's quite common i beleive.

Update:

Just back from Renault, main bodywork guy confirmed it had been re-painted when it got into the docks in the uk. It's the shoddy paintwork that is coming off.
Pictures sent to Renault in France for them to approve the spraying. Lovely

Thought so, it's **** but it happens unfortunately. At least it will get sorted out properly this time.
