1st of many mistakes ahead...
Got too excited with my "new" car and purchased an OEM Carbon fiber lip from a seller. Its for a v12 model...the problem is that ive got a v8....
I guess i couldve looked up the part number first...or tken more than a quick glance at it
Lesson learned!!!

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?

Yep same on mine. Think I did it when I drove slowly over a driveway crossing. Small star shaped crazing of the carbon and clear coat. Let me know how the repair goes as I am replacing mine and want to get it repaired and sell the original. My car is a '17 also - maybe they changed the way they embed the fixing in the carbon or as you said overtightened it
