Paint Gouge in spoiler - at a loss to explain
<table id="post2540370" class="tborder" width="100%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td class="alt1" id="td_post_2540370" style="border-right: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255);">First pic is just cause I love the dude - he rocks - is that weird that I think of the car as male? ANyways
The second and third one are a bit vague but pls enlarge - it's not tar or ashphelt - my fingure almost disappears in the hole ('k I know thats dramamtic but it's 2 weeks old)
Thought I would see if the dealer would touch it up before the Diamondbrite (basically a 3 year guaranteed slick coat that makes it look like liquid when clean) to fill in the holes (makes me bummed just saying that!).
1. Any ideas if this is "normal wear and tear" - I AM doing 180 k's (100 mph) to work regularly - we do love the road rules here
2. Will most dealers have a fillers/paint to smooth over the damage?
3. Lets think about turbo charging the beast ! That being said I drive an auto (traffic here demands it) and found the DS option - meant for hillclimbs and tight corners but booya! it sure splits the sand on the highway! No seriously - turbo?<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Totally wish I did so I had answer! its a mystery...
But seems like it's a random knock to the paint as oposed to a known defect.
And now he's gleaming well a drive is in order - seeya on the freeway!

Pretty sure the dealer can hook you up. If not there is a very good detail shop on 6th st behind all the auto dealers on Shaik Zayed. I can't remeber the name right off hand, been outta Dubai for a minute but I think it's something like Sofie. they did a detail on my wifes Cali Mustang with door dings from hell, Emirates Mall Junkie she was 
For like $200 they did a full detail and out of the probably 20 dings, only the largest were still visible after they were done.
