Thats not good news, I would get that back to Ford ASAP and claim on the paint warrenty, thats not good news at all.

Noticed this as well when I was fitting mudflaps, in the front wheel arch the paint looks like its film which has peeled back.

The perils of using thinner and eco-friendly paints - it's plain crap. It also create luminosity issues when comparing the bumper to metal-work in some shades - classic example on the green Focus RS ... body and bumpers were almost different shades.

Take it back to Ford.

rite took it back to ford and thy said to take it to the coachworks round the corner ( wich we was pretty !Removed! off about ford should have done this there selfs seeing as over the last 5 years we have spent over £47,5000 in there ) and the man at the coachworks took some pictures to see if it will go through the warrenty , my dad will be so angry if it dosent and he has to pay, the bloke sed he has seen it all before and not to worry , wen he calls back i will let u know the outcome and then maby you can all get your cars done for free :)
