Let me know how your repair goes as I hope this is not the case either!

This is the rim after the repair...the polished part along the spokes are lighter than the other three but the shop swears that it will darken over time.

That's a pretty good repair! I'm not even sure if I can see where you say it's lighter.

It's lighter than the first day I picked the car up from the dealership. I'm hoping the polish darkens soon as I have OCD about these things.

I can't even see it so you must REALLY have an OCD issue

I would bet what you see is as good as it gets... which is pretty good IMO.

Get some brake dust on it and you're good to go

You should valet your car once you take delivery out at the entrance. Is free...

I did.
This was after I picked up the car from the valet and left it in the underground garage again so I can pick it up the next day.

Did the ED insurance cover the replacement of the rim ?

I had 50% of rim scraped in Innsbruck on day 1. Waiting for the dealer to get back to me with a response.

ED insurance specifically states that rim damage not covered. Loginout will identify any such damage. But... such peccadillos are often repaired at the VPC. Not sure if Canada different.

Gracias!

That's just a scuff. Sand it with a fine grit paper and then paint some touch up paint that matches the color.

Where did you get this done?

Oh no!!! Welcome me to the club!

The scratch is very hard to notice but it bugs me... Not sure if I should fix it or not, you can barely see it if you don't get really close. The pictures with flash show excessive damage, they don't look like that under natural light...

Would you fix it?
