I posted this elsewhere but another 2017 V12S owner had very same problem - anyone else have this problem below:

A weird thing happened to my carbon fiber splitter




A really weird thing happened to my carbon lip this weekend as you can see by the picture below. I've had four Vantages with the new style carbon lip - a 2015 GT and three V12S's... This is my one week old 300 mile on the odometer 2017 V12S. As usual, when I pull out of the narrow driveway, I often scrape slightly against the lip - this was to be my first Vantage I'd invest in scrape armor (scheduled for the 17th). Saturday morning I went to Cars & Coffee in Minneapolis and my son noticed that the bolt that holds the lip on punched through the top (see pict). Let me tell you, I've hit my lip a whole lot harder in the past on curbs with no visible damage - a lot harder - this was a light scrape. The Aston dealer said they never saw this before on any of the many they sold. When I take it in, I'll bet someone put a bolt too long at the factory (my thought), so it may be a warranty fix, or out of my pocket as a repair. Not sure yet... pretty odd.

Anyone else ever had that problem?

Trying to figure if it's just a 2017 (maybe wrong size bolts) or is it more common to other years and models???

 

I have the exact same issue on my '15 V12 S. I am the second owner and it was there when I took delivery, but it is directly over an installation bolt.

 

And add my V12Vs which has the same issue

will post photos over the weekend

pretty sure mine came from a low kerb crossing - but also hit a kangaroo (just touched its tail with the spoiler at about 110km/hr and found a tuft of fur in the crack - it was very close to being a major disaster) so possibly from that impact

Graze

 

For us that don't live there,

lol.
