2007 CGT Rear Spoiler De-lamination, replacement?

Just purchased a 2007 CGT with 17K miles on it.
Picked it up in Tampa and all looked great.
Got home to Chapel Hill, washed and waxed it.
Surprise! Noted a "bubble" in the rear spoiler that is directly in front of the trunk lip that I had not noticed in Tampa - just overlooked and the dealer did not reveal it. It's about 5" long, pretty much centered in the spoiler, and a slight rise in the surface of the spoiler - makes the carbon fiber pattern noticeable.

Want to replace the spoiler as the rest of the car is near perfect.

Suggestions for sources?
Assume it will have to be painted Beluga by a local shop.

I purchased from an independent dealer BUT I had the vehicle taken to Dimitti Motors in Tampa to do a full CPO type inspection of the car, at my expense, before committing to purchase it.

Dimitti did not notice the de-lamination of the spoiler.

Pushing them for a good price on a replacement part, but hoping there is a source other than Bentley that will be more cost effective.
