I need to get around to sorting this as its driving me mad. The lacquer has peeled from my carbon front grille and it now looks sh*t. . Ive only had it on there for about a year and a half but bare in mind it sat still for 9 months of that, would that really cause it to peel?
Is this repairable or do I need to get a new one (£200 :() and will the new one do this? Anyone else had problems with their CF front grilles? Any suggestions?
Cheers

who made it ?

Its a Carbonspeed one which I get from my local VAG garage - http://www.carbonspeed.co.uk/product_cs.vw.04.asp

i would be giving them a call first as it does look shocking from only a year on the car

do you wash the car yourself? or go to the local polish hand car wash..
the degreaser stuff they use is ok for paint work but probably a bit harsh for the lacquer on your carbon

Car gets washed myself. I use normal Autoglym car shampoo.
I think a trip back to the garage is in order :(
