Paint Chipping behind rear wheels
[B[/B]Have a new AMG GTS Edition 1 and noticed some chipping behind the rear wheels bumper. Is this normal?

Only have about 100 miles.

That area is prone to some road rash due to the tire and body configuration. I had the detail shop install Xpel Ultimate paint film in that area with no problems after 1500 miles.

I don't have any issues with mine. I really think it has to do more with the roads where you live and rock content.
