Poll for Those with Paint Blistering / Bubbling Defect

[ADC]

Hey, my car goes in Monday for replacement doors and boot lid. The dealer won’t cover the cost off Ppf which I have already done. Any help or advise? Is this something they should cover or is it gonna cost me again to do.

Absolutely stand your ground on this. Do not be fobbed off. Lotus Cars (warranty department) should 100% be covering the full cost of putting your car back to the state it was. Your dealer should be facilitating this for you (assuming you mean a Lotus dealer?). Expect to provide the receipt / quote for when you had the PPF done.

I personally would not be handing my car over to have the work done until everything was approved... feels like you're leaving it extremely late to seek advice

I 100% agree with @ADC above - don’t be fobbed off!

Lotus will / should pay for the WHOLE car to be redone, providing you have the original receipt.
The whole car will require new PPF due to the colour miss-match of new-next-to-old PPF.
Mine was fully covered by Lotus, after it was approved by Lotus HQ.
I had to submit the original receipt and then obtain a quote for the car to be redone.
I was told the dealer pays and then claims it back.

Where are you based & which dealer is doing your car?
