I noticed what appeared to be a scrape on the edge pf my spoiler, but on further inspection it turned out to be the clear coat de-laminating from the CF.

I know the photography is lacking but the area that looks like a scrape really isn't.

There are a number of very small areas across the spoiler where little white spots have appeared. They look very similar to the problem area, just a good bit smaller.

Did not find anything on mine. Is it a stock or after market spoiler (could not tell from the pic)? Too much sun, "acid" rain/ snow, washing products or you are a seaside resident? I find the similar clear coat de-laminating on my old E30 M3's spoiler but the car is sitting under the sun all year round.

Stupid of me not to mention that. That is exactly right.

Can't be, the car's never been above 147. (Let the abuse begin.)
