Paint Bubbling and PPF

[SJM]

Unfortunately my car appears to have the dreaded paint bubbling on both doors.(I'm in Australia)
Looking for feedback on owners with bubbling and if Lotus replaced the PPF.

If it helps - I doubled checked this with my Lotus dealer (Lotus - Essex) before I bought mine. They confirmed that If the paint-bubbling occurs that Lotus will replace the PPF too under warranty.

That's a good outcome for UK customers. My next step is booking my car in and see what my dealer will do.

Lotus refuse to pay for a new rear 'duck spoiler' on my replacement tailgate as it wasn't factory fitted, held on by 3M tape used in factories. The paintshop aren't happy having to remove and reinstall. The part is £399, cheaper than ppf I bet.

Lotus CS very inconsistent with what they'll pay for.

I have had both doors replaced due to paint bubbling. Lotus covered the cost of replacement PPF and also covered the cost of door polishing after the car had been returned from the bodyshop. My detailer said this was necessary before applying PPF and ceramic coating. All costs covered by Lotus under warranty.

I know, as many others have also. My car is at the dealers again, 4th week, awaiting replacement USB parts. Lotus also refused a replacement drivers side kick plate saying I damaged it (I brought it to their attention on collecting the car over a year ago. I've never had a courtesy car in all the time the car has been at the dealers or undriveable, 6 months and counting, the only option I had was paying £20 a day for a dealership car. 6 months of of tax and insurance paid out too.

I've asked for a goodwill gesture of an extended warranty but I'm not holding out much hope.
