STi front lip blown up by the wind
I've had the car for a month now and last weekend my front lip just decided to commit suicide while running at 220km/h. The dealer installed the lip before I took delivery of the car and they don't want to take responsability for waht happened. I've never scrapped or touched the lip beforehand. Am I crazy to think that the dealership should take responsability for that?

Here is a picture of what was left of it.

I don’t know what you expect. Unless you can prove there is an issue with the instal they are not going to cover it. Could have been a manufacturing defect, rock kicked up from another vehicle. Who knows.

you were going beyond the allowed speed limit on public roads when this happened.. definitely not covered by the dealer from that alone
if it was on track.. well.. it happened on a private road where you are responsible for any and all damages plastic doesnt just "explode" like that from wind resistance. it made contact with what is likely a rock, and at that speed, a rock will do a lot of damage this car tops out at 140mph, so we were near the top speed/limit of the vehicle itself if the dealer didnt install it properly, it wouldve fallen off long before you hit that speed. |

I just don't get why it would make a difference if the speeding was made on track or not. The lip still f* off at that speed on a car who is made to go at that speed. |
If you look under the car is there still plastic left around the mount points and screws intact? Not sure about the Gen2 but there's something like 18 screws holding on the Gen 1 lip.
