[Q3 glacier]

Hi I've got a glacier while q3 sline and I've noticed some paint defects on the rear bumper where it meets the bodywork on both sides.
So I've taken it to the dealer I've purchased it from, they've had a look at it, taken pictures and are sending them to Audi, whilst I was there, they had 2 other glacier white new q3's in, and they both had the same issues!
So I've guessing its a fault with the paint or they are putting the bumpers on the car whist the paint is still wet.
Thought I'd mention it as there maybe more cars out there with the same problem. So u should get out there and check your cars, the issues are on the top edge of the bumper where it meets the bodywork. In places mine looks like a wrap that's not been put on properly and where it's bad the paint has blistered, which is about 1cm in length.
