V12 gantage rear bumper

Hey guys, wondering if anybody has this outline/crease in there rear bumper. Its barrly noticeable but its ther. I dont remember seeing this on my V8S. I put tape to show the outline of where it is. Its symetrical above the liscense plate. Any thoughts?

The bumper is held by two pieces of Velcro in that area that can often cause a distortion.

Semi-common issue across much of the lineup. See here :

Thanks for the replies, would this be a warranty issue?

Well took it to the dealership today and there going to see what they can do with it. Good news is they lent me a v12s to take home. Wasn't expecting that!
Looked at other vantage bumpers while I was ther and all were smooth. Read the thread (thank you Yankee04), the problem was at the trunk shut line where as mine is a complete symmetrical outline above the liscense plate. Really bugs me

I filed this in the side effects of being hand-built.
